The Scorpion
The Kershaw RS64 Ramp is a "roll-up" loading ramp that can be used to load all work equipment that is normally transported on a flat car. It can load both rail bound and rubber tired machines. A winch is provided for disabled machines or machines that do not have sufficient tractive effort to climb the ramp slope.

Deployment Sequence
The ramp can be deployed or retracted in under 5 minutes by one man using a remote pendant pushbutton control. Legs are automatically positioned to support each section.
The deploy and retract sequence is all fully automatic with stage timing controlled by sequencing valves and cams. The operator simply holds down the deploy or retract button through the complete sequence.
Transportation
When retracted and stored for travel, the Scorpion fits within "C" plate clearance dimensions. Optional bridging bar systems are available to allow movement from one flat car to another. The coupler is retained to allow transportation in train formation.
Hydraulics
A hydraulic tank and diesel fuel tank share a lockable enclosure with easy access for maintenance and service. Fluid levels are easily checked by observing the sight glass tubes.
Powerplant
UA self-contained diesel powerplant drives hydraulic pumps to provide power for the hydraulic cylinders and winch. The engine is housed in a lockable enclosure with controls and instrumentation.
Flat Car
The ramp can be installed on a customer provided flat car or can be provided complete with car. The deck and frame must be of welded construction.
Winch
Most machines have no problem climbing the 7% slope to load on the Scorpion. A hydraulic winch is provided for machines that cannot load under their own power.
