Rail-road excavators

HERING operates 16 modern, high-performance Liebherr road-rail excavators in various performance classes. Specially designed for use on railway tracks, they combine advanced mobile excavator technology, powerful performance and flexible deployment options for a wide range of construction projects – even under challenging track conditions.

A broad selection of attachments, including ditch-cleaning buckets, sleeper changers, clamshell grabs, digging buckets and Movax side-grip pile drivers for installing steel pipes or posts, enables us to provide a tailored and cost-effective solution for your project.

From deployment planning through to execution, HERING provides all services from a single source. Professional project management, experienced specialists and versatile road-rail excavators ensure safe operations and cost-effective construction site delivery.

Sustainable solutions for tracks, tunnels and people

Most of our rail-road excavators are equipped with diesel particulate filters and therefore meet the specific requirements of construction and conversion work in areas such as tunnels.

Our experienced machine operators also hold all the necessary qualifications and approvals required for working on railway infrastructure.

HERING sustainability

At HERING, we see ourselves as pioneers in the field of sustainability. As early as 1996, we were the first construction company in Germany to obtain EMAS certification. Every three years, we publish an environmental statement documenting our goals and how we have achieved them. Actually, for the first time, we published a sustainability report with an integrated environmental statement in accordance with EMAS - a logical next step in view of our ecological and social responsibility. It documents how we deal internally and externally with the issues that are essential to our future viability.
