BANCE-Mule

BANCE-Mule

Motorised 1-tonne rail platform for the safe and easy movement of heavy materials along the track.

The BANCE-Mule is an electrically powered motorised platform designed for safe and efficient transportation of heavy materials up to 1,000 kg. Powered by two 24V electric motors with four forward speeds, it features regenerative braking and dual disc fail-safe parking brakes that engage automatically on zero speed, low battery, or power failure. The splitting and folding design allows easy storage and transportation, the heaviest single section is just 53.5 kg. Operated via a handheld dead-man control unit with variable speed, emergency stop, and battery indicator. Available in standard 1435 mm gauge and other widths on request.

BANCE-Trail

BANCE-Trail

Towable rail trailer with 2,000 kg capacity, suitable for cable laying, materials haulage, personnel transport, and more.

The BANCE-Trail is a versatile towable rail trailer with a 2,000 kg loading capacity and Network Rail Product Acceptance (PA05/07148). Built from welded aluminium tube on high-grade steel axles, it features automatic fail-safe drum brakes that engage on power failure or disconnection, plus automatic red/white directional marker lights. Multiple trailers can be linked and towed simultaneously from either end. Application areas include cable laying, conductor rail de-icing, rail moving, crane lifting, vegetation management, personnel carrying, and welding equipment transport. Optional tops include flat timber or aluminium, well sections, seating, and specialist applicators.

BANCE-Trolley

BANCE-Trolley

Lightweight aluminium motorised track trolley for efficient personnel and equipment transport.

The BANCE-Trolley is a lightweight aluminium-framed motorised trolley designed for efficient movement of personnel and equipment along the track. Load capacity suitable for maintenance teams and their tools. Easily assembled and disassembled for rapid on-track deployment and removal during engineering possessions.

BANCE Personnel Carrier

BANCE Personnel Carrier

Rail-mounted personnel transport solution designed for safe and efficient movement of workers and equipment along the track.

The BANCE Personnel Carrier provides reliable, safe on-track transport for maintenance teams and their equipment during engineering possessions. Designed to accommodate multiple operators with their tools and materials, it significantly reduces walking time along the line and improves team productivity. Available in diesel, petrol, and electric variants to suit different operational environments.

BANCE Cable Drum Carrier

BANCE Cable Drum Carrier

Specialist rail utility vehicle for transporting and handling cable drums during railway installation and maintenance work.

Purpose-designed rail vehicle for the safe movement and deployment of heavy cable drums trackside. The Cable Drum Carrier eliminates the need for manual handling of large reels, reducing injury risk and enabling faster cable laying during electrification, signalling, and communications projects. Suitable for use across standard gauge infrastructure in engineering possessions.
