The Hydraulic Rail Bender (also known as a Hydraulic Rail Straightener) is a critical piece of railway maintenance equipment that operates on hydraulic principles. It is designed for the precise bending, straightening, and shaping of steel rails. By applying controlled force, it effectively corrects deformations such as bending, lateral curvature, wave wear, or warping caused by long-term use, temperature fluctuations, or external impacts. This process restores the rails to their designed linear or curved alignment, ensuring track stability, operational safety, and meeting the high-precision requirements of modern railway engineering.
