Versatility.

The Brown Car Mover is one of the most versatile rail trucks, allowing you to move rail cars one day, then conduct track maintenance the next. This versatility creates superior value, allowing your fleet to do more work with fewer vehicles.

Outrigger.

Unlike competitors solutions that require outriggers to be fully deployed, Brown outriggers can be deployed independently from each other to avoid obstacles and adapt to the terrain.
