Slewing Jacks

Slewing jacks help rail teams move track components sideways with control. Rather than lifting straight up, they’re used when a rail or section of track needs to be pushed, pulled or adjusted laterally so it sits in the right position.

That makes them especially useful during alignment work, track renewals, rail replacement and repair jobs where small movements can make a big difference. A slewing jack gives the operator a steady way to reposition heavy rail components without relying on force by hand or less precise methods.

On site, they’re often used alongside lifting jacks and other handling equipment. The lift may create the working space, but the slewing jack helps make the sideways adjustment. That combination is useful when track needs to be brought back into line, repositioned after repair work, or adjusted before final fixing and inspection.

Slewing jacks are a practical choice for rail maintenance teams working in possessions, depots and trackside environments where accuracy, control and safe handling all matter.
