One of the most versatile pieces of equipment in Hulcher’s inventory is the Grapple truck.

The Grapple truck is the perfect fit for picking up bulky waste, brush and debris around the rail yard and on the right-of-way. It is an excellent complement to railroad construction projects; one common application is to use the Grapple truck for picking up material during pole line removal. With attachments like the clam, scoop and rake, the Grapple truck can work with materials as fine as gravel and ballast and as large as ties and tree branches. With the magnet attachment, the Grapple truck quickly transfers scrap from rail cars.

All Hulcher Grapple trucks are equipped with hi-rail that enables them to do maintenance-of-way work in remote areas. For example, the Grapple truck offers an efficient solution for picking up, hauling and placing ties in hard-to-reach places that lack working space along the right-of-way, such as bridges. The Grapple truck is also ideal for clearing debris from the track in even the most difficult locations, which makes it a key component of Hulcher’s disaster response service line.

When versatility is essential, Hulcher’s Grapple truck offers unparalleled speed and flexibility.
