cameras

Stay up-to-date on your BOSS’s every moment with cameras that give you a viewer experience that feels like you’re there. 

Telematics

We recognize our customers need a machine they can count on. That’s why all BOSS railcar movers are equipped with on-board telematics that provide critical machine feedback. With our telematics, you and your operators will know what’s going on at all times.

intelligent rail pressure control

We recognize the need for a system that is dependable and quick to respond when traveling down rail. We pride ourselves in having a system that responds quickly when traversing through curves, switches, and frogs. Features such as hose burst detection are standard on all BOSS mobile railcar movers.

independent pivoting rail gear

BOSS spares no expense when it comes to staying on the rail. Each BOSS is equipped with a reliable and proven independent rail gear system which allows for maximum maneuverability in the tightest of curves. Each bogie uses tandem heavy-duty 12-inch AAR steel wheels and pivots with 3 axes of rotation.

 

auxiliary rail pressure system

ARPS is a secondary system that activates automatically in the event of a hydraulic pump failure. This system is designed to provide high rail pressure until the operator can safely and effectively bring the machine and railcars to a stop.

Perfect 50/50 weight
distribution

Each BOSS chassis is manufactured using only a high-strength steel plate. Weight was methodically distributed for a well-balanced and highly stable machine. We pride ourselves on having the most stable railcar mover in the market.

Operator Experience

At BOSS, we pride ourselves on giving our customers the most comfortable and safest operator experience. After years of training, engineering, and operating mobile railcar movers, our team made operator requests a reality. We are strong believers that a happy operator is an alert and safe operator. That is why we offer standard features that promote a safe and comfortable working environment.
