A new high-capacity rail mounted crane for Iarnród Éireann/Irish Rail (IÉ) is due to be commissioned.
The unique crane design allows the crane to operate on one track of a double line whilst train operations continue on the adjacent track.
This means it can lift and carry longitudinally up to 30 tonnes of rail panels for relaying purposes on the line it is driving on.
