The Krupp track-mounted drill and pile-driver has been especially designed and built for use on Deutsche Bahn construction sites. They can build foundations, without use of the adjacent track, using pile-driving and twist-in drilling methods. An independent traction drive enables working on the construction track without use of a work locomotive. The rams can be used flexibly due to the large load-carrying capacities with long outreach.
