Rhomberg Sersa’s Material Handling Train (MHT) is the first of its kind in North America and combines MFS 40 cars with purpose-built power wagons to support a range of ballast maintenance activities to efficiently and safely expedite the delivery of projects.
Key Features
- Purpose-built for loading, unloading, transporting, and storing track materials.
- Fully modular and configurable—can operate as single units or in combination.
- Integrated internal floor conveyors allow seamless material flow between cars.
- Enables single-line working, making it ideal for infrastructure constrained or high-traffic corridors.
- Supports ballast cleaning, ballast delivery, and spoil removal workflows.
- Efficient collection of waste material, offering a sustainable and operationally efficient alternative to side dumping.
- Compatible with:
- RM76 and RM80 ballast cleaning systems.
- BDS 100/200 Ballast Pick-up and Distribution Systems.
- Universal Material Handling (UMH) car.
Unmatched Performance and Flexibility
The MHT is a self-contained material transfer and handling train that can be configured for new ballast delivery or collection of spoil materials generated during ballast cleaning operations.
Each Power Wagon is designed to provide flexibility in the delivery of ballast to track, movement and transfer of loaded MFS cars at speed and the ability to directly feed new ballast to RSRG’s RM80 production ballast undercutter optimizing ballast cleaning as a single line activity.
