Questions
Hi-Rail Vacuum Truck in Vine Grove FAQ
What is a hi-rail vacuum truck?
It is a vacuum truck equipped with retractable rail wheels (hi-rail gear) so it can drive on railroad track as well as roads. This lets it reach track-side work sites to excavate around signals and utilities, remove ballast, and clean drainage within the rail corridor.
Why use a hi-rail truck instead of a standard vacuum truck?
When the work is inside a rail corridor, a standard truck often cannot reach it. Hi-rail gear lets the truck travel along the tracks to the exact location, which is essential for signal, ballast, and track-side excavation.
