Stackable & versatile
Works as a stackable system: multiple pairs lift lengths between 27 m and 100 m, and 32 t to 144 t. Combined with adjustable width, the RPL goes beyond being siloed to large projects or small maintenance tasks.

Engineered for performance
The most efficient, versatile and cost-effective way to remove & install track.
Built in collaboration with GOS Tool & Engineering Ltd, the Aqurate RPL is non rail-mounted, works across various gauges and is manufactured to 16 t and 18 t wide specification. A stackable solution designed with track & plant owners in mind — combine multiple pairs to deliver a range of tasks with unparalleled efficiency.
Rapid removal & installation
Built for speed: from access to installation, the RPL system removes and installs 100 m of track in under 40 minutes — even in tight possession windows.
Easy access, single track & OLE
Immediate readiness under energised OLE (restrictions may apply) with no isolation for access, working or egress. No need to stabilise for peak loads or lay temporary track.
Adjustable width
Two models: a base 16 t capable of 4 m extended width, and a wide 18 t+ capable of over 5 m. Designed to work together across a wide range of environments and requirements.
Minimal sag & improved safety
Built with track integrity and operator safety in mind: remote control, smooth hydraulics, emergency brakes on all corners, recovery engine and a range of lifting attachments. Specialist lifting beams available.
Low-cost, efficient transport
Transported without special movement orders, minimising pre-planning and cost. Improved manoeuvrability with horizontal and lateral movement and drastically reduced setup times.
Compelling economics
One of the most CAPEX-friendly solutions in the market. Maintenance costs 70% lower and transport costs 40% lower than traditional methods, with maximum utilisation across varied work.
Warranty, training & project support
1-year or 1,000-hour warranty as standard. Full OEM familiarisation and training included. Access to our Special Projects team for methodology, lift plans and shared experience.
