The advantages of the Menzi Muck: small structure gauge, low tare weight, automatic rerailing and derailing on open track, work on and alongside the rail possible, low excavator centre of gravity, low transportation costs and improved price/performance ratio.

Track excavator/Two-way excavator (Deutsche Bahn)

The Menzi Muck two-way excavator, which has been approved by Deutsche Bahn (German national railway) uses a wheel and disk drive to reach a maximum speed of 19 km/h across the two rail cars. Because the rolling stock which is in short supply is no longer required, the operator gains flexibility and costs are minimised. Once it reaches the site, the Menzi Muck can derail independently or work alongside the track. The Menzi Muck can be used to lift the subframe off the track and set it down, thereby minimising or even eliminating idle times.
