To provide a rail lift vehicle capable of lifting a rail with a comparatively small force, applying small load to the rail, and configuring the vehicle itself in a small size.
A vertical jack 6 capable of expanding and contracting downward in the vertical direction is installed approx. in the center fore and aft of a dolly 8 capable of running on a rail. An arm 11 whose base end is pivoted and tip is swingable to the left and right is installed on the left side and the right side of the dolly 8 adjacent to the jack 6. A disk-shaped engaging member 7 mounted rotatably at the tip of each arm 11 is engaged with the head of the rail 1 by closing the arms 11 by an opening/closing cylinder to drive the arms 11 in the lateral direction. In this condition, the jack 6 is elongated, and the dolly 8 is lifted together with the rail 1.
