NORDCO NAVIGATOR SERIES NVX8040

OVERVIEW

NVX Series capacity range is 38,000 lbs to 85,000 lbs tractive effort, single or double coupled. The Navigator Series is capable of moving up to 60 loaded railcars without weight transfer coupling. Spawned from the success of the more lengthy SWX840, launched in 2011, the Navigator Series includes four shorter models. Each Navigator model highlights the only mobile railcar movers in the business to utilize a pivoting drive axle and rail guidance system all in a single assembly. The system is very similar to the drive trucks on a locomotive which are allowed to pivot and turn along the rails. Product improvement focus includes enhanced rail stability, better performance in poor weather conditions, improved tire life and the ability to navigate up to 70 degree track curvature. The Navigator Series by Shuttlewagon is the pinnacle in mobile railcar moving.
