Hydraulic rail stressor MIT 70 LW

The main use of our MIT 70 hydraulic rail stressor takes place during welding procedures. This rail stressor is used for stressing, pressing or keeping two rails in neutral position, during welding procedures. With the “obstructionless configuration”, the railway vehicles can pass without get in touch with the MIT 70. It is composed by two stirrups made by a special casting, eccentrics for anchoring it on the rail, two hydraulic cylinders, two tie rods, a kit composed by hydraulic tubes and a power unit/ hydraulic manual pump.The hydraulic cylinders have a security valve that doesn’t permit to exceed from the standard pressures. Its lightweight and compact body, made this rail stressor unique in the market and you can use it on the most existing rails. The difference between LW and SLW is only the weight of hydraulic cylinders. There is also the possibility to have interchangeable cams for different types of rail.
