description

Please note that this is a market engagement exercise to assist us in gaining insight into the supply and operation of RMMM within the UK market

Machine Definitions

RMMs are classified as:

a)large - 5.5 tonne gross laden weight and above.
b)medium - less than 5.5 tonne gross laden weight and greater than 1 tonne.
  • c)small - 1 tonne gross laden weight and less.

The classification of RMMMs into three bands is concerned mainly with their ability to

assist each other in the event of failure. The three classifications have no influence on the

application of this standard – the acceptance criteria for all RMMMs are the same,

irrespective of size.

Able to carry short lengths of rail, with a payload capacity of approx. 8 – 10 tonnes. Is able to thimble Continuously welded rail (CWR). Is self-propelled & can run in traffic.
