The Shuttlewagon's unique independent suspension separates the rail guide wheels from the rubber drive tires. Rail vibration entering through the independently suspended steel railwheels is absorbed through the hydraulic fluid in the rail cylinders. Bypassing the hydraulic fluid between the rail cylinders allows the railwheels to "step" over frogs, switches, dips and other obstruction on the rails by shunting hydraulic fluid from one cylinder to the other. The separate rubber tire drive wheels pneumatically absorb rail vibration in the same manner as a normal vehicle drive system.
Shuttlewagon's common-sense rubber-tire drive system reduces the wear and tear to machine's components and the Railcar Mover itself. The rubber tires support most of the weight and absorb much of the vibration incurred while moving railcars. Lower vibration means less wear and tear, and a longer life for the Shuttlewagon mobile Railcar Mover.
