Dedicated Road Rail Machines

Aries Rail are the official sales and support agent for Colmar rail products in Australia and New Zealand. Among the comprehensive range of rail construction and maintenance products available are a number of hi rail excavators and loaders.

Colmar hi rail excavators and loaders are used widely across the world with many companies operating large fleets of machines. This means that the products now being offered in Australia have been thoroughly tried and tested in a range of climatic conditions, ensuring safe and reliable operation anywhere in Australia.

Several engine options are available including Caterpillar.

Colmar excavators and loaders are dedicated road rail machines, design and manufactured specifically for use on both road and rail. This allows the machine to be compliant with the many unique rail standards and operating methods – Something that cannot be easily achieved by converting a normal excavator for rail use.
