The present invention relates to railway rail handling apparatus (10) and a method of handling railway rails using such apparatus. The railway rail handling apparatus (10) is configured for track side operation and comprises ground engaging wheel means (28) and rail moving means (12). The rail moving means (12) is configured to engage a railway rail (80) along part of its length and for its progressive movement longitudinally along the rail as the railway rail handling apparatus (10) moves on the ground engaging wheel means (28). As the rail moving means (12) moves in this fashion the rail moving means is configured to progressively bend the rail (80) laterally of an unbent part of the rail, thereby moving the rail from a first position to a second position. The railway rail handling apparatus (10) defines a footprint over the ground and the rail moving means is, in use, operative within the footprint.

Cette invention se rapporte à un appareil de manutention de rails de chemin de fer (10) et à un procédé de manutention de rails de chemin de fer utilisant cet appareil. Cet appareil (10) est conçu pour des opérations en bordure de voie et comprend des roues (28) en contact avec le sol et des moyens (12) de déplacement des rails. Les moyens (12) de déplacement des rails sont configurés pour saisir un rail de chemin de fer (80) le long d'une partie de sa longueur et pour le déplacer progressivement dans le sens de la longueur le long du rail, à mesure que l'appareil de manutention de rails de chemin de fer (10) se déplace sur les roues (28) en contact avec le sol. A mesure que le moyen (12) de déplacement des rails se déplace ainsi, il coude progressivement le rail (80) dans le sens latéral d'une partie non coudée du rail, déplaçant ainsi le rail d'une première position dans une seconde position. Cet appareil de manutention de rails de chemin de fer (10) définit une empreinte sur le sol et les moyens de déplacement du rail opèrent, en mode d'utilisation, dans cette empreinte.
