Permaquip™ Ironman

When it comes to completing rail maintenance jobs safely and effectively, having the right tools is essential. That’s why the Permaquip Ironman has been trusted for over 50 years, proving its reliability in real-world rail environments.

The Permaquip Ironman is a tried-and-tested design that’s used worldwide across the rail infrastructure. It’s designed for lifting and transporting rail lengths, sleepers, and components of switch and crossings (S&C), making it easier to move heavy loads from one location to another.

Simple: Whether used stand-alone or in multiples, the Permaquip Ironman is manually propelled along the track by two or more operators, ensuring smooth and efficient movement.
Versatile: Need to move rail from one side of the track to the other? The Ironman lets you do just that. It straddles the running rails, offering access to the four-foot, six-foot, and cess, so you can get where you need to be, no matter the location.
Portable: The Ironman system is designed for convenience. It splits into sections for safe, secure transportation and can be assembled or disassembled in just one minute — perfect for crews who need to get to work quickly and efficiently.
Safe: When it comes to rail maintenance, safety is always a top priority. The Ironman is built with safety in mind, featuring a high-visibility yellow powder-coated frame and flashing red LED lights to ensure visibility, even in low light conditions. Its fail-safe braking system, which operates on the two wheels on one of the legs, adds an extra layer of security while in use.
Adaptable: The Permaquip Ironman is designed to meet a wide range of rail maintenance requirements. It offers options like standard or electrically insulated wheels (nylon/aluminium hybrid), a single or double rail carriage, a Camlok clamp or Permaquip rail lifting clamp, a rail storage bracket, and a sleeper lifting system. These options allow you to tailor the Ironman to your specific needs, ensuring you have the right solution for the task at hand.
