SOLON, Ohio, USA, - ERICO® offers a wide range of powerful rail tools, which include rail drills, rail grinders and impact wrenches. These easy-to-use machines feature compact, portable designs and are ideal for long-term use.
The SBM-V range of petrol/gasoline rail drills are designed for smooth, reliable and powerful drilling operation.

The SBG200 is a 12 lb (5.5 kg) gas (petrol)-powered rail grinder with a simplified design to reduce the possibility of damage from long-term use. A unique design allows grinding in tight areas and it grinds the head and web with only one piece of equipment. The 4-stroke Honda® engine provides 10,500 rpm with no load applied.
The SBG100 cordless rail grinder weighs 7 lbs and features a three-position side handle and a conveniently positioned trigger switch. This powerful, 18 V, 6,500 rpm cordless cut-off tool has a metal gear case to dissipate heat for longer bearing, gear and motor life. It includes a case, two batteries, one-hour charger, wrench and grinding wheels.
The GT-3500GE portable impact wrench is a powerful and sturdy tool for spot maintenance of way requirements.
