The Speed Swing 445F2 is designed to accept more than a dozen attachments for laying rails, setting ties and numerous other maintenance-of-way tasks. Powered by a fuel-efficient 163-horsepower Cummins QSB4.5 Tier IV diesel engine, the 445F2 offers a 49-gallon fuel tank, a front load capacity of 10,000 pounds and maximum side load capacity of 8,000 pounds. Providing 180-degree boom rotation, the machine is primarily used to thread out old rail and thread in new rail.
An optional magnet package quickly cleans up old plates, spikes and small pieces of rail. The unit can also tow rail carts, move railcars and supply air or hydraulics for hand tools.
