Rail Grinding

Transit Rail Grinding

Transit and commuter railroads strive to provide safe, comfortable and uninterrupted service for passengers. With strict time schedules and nearly constant rail traffic inherent in transit railroads, track maintenance windows are limited. Loram understands the need for efficiency, offering powerful transit rail grinding services and equipment coupled with decades of expertise. Loram’s unmatched productivity optimises work windows, delivers more track kilometers ground and provides superior metal removal that lead to better rail health.

With its industry-leading 23 kW electric grind motors, Loram’s transit rail grinding solutions have the productive power to remove more metal per pass, which corrects and restores the rail in the most efficient manner by minimising the amount of grinding passes. With precision grinding control and multiple machine platforms designed specifically for the restrictive clearances of transit and commuter railroads, Loram offers best-in-class performance that equates to the most efficient metal removal, reduces grind time, and optimises maintenance cost.
