Would it be valuable if…

  • you could use vacuum machines to efficiently remove ballast, lower cables, get rid of mud deposits or vacuum tunnels?
  • the method was so gentle that rails, sleepers and cables could remain undamaged in the embankment?
  • the method was so efficient that you could repair a normal switch in a single shift?
  • the track was completely passable after the work was completed?
  • the machine could be powered entirely without fossil fuels?

Railcare has been developing and building maintenance machines for the railway since 1992. From the first vacuum machine and the world’s first snow melter to today’s largest fully electric and battery-powered maintenance machine, which is powered by pantographs in working mode and by batteries where there is no overhead line.

We work safely, or not at all

Safety is a fundamental aspect of our entire business, from design and assembly to track operation. We begin the building process of our machines by adhering to industry safety requirements, relevant standards, and proven design principles to ensure that every component, system, and function meets the highest safety standards possible.

Once the machines are operational, our commitment to safety continues. Our rail-mounted units are developed with a focus on stability, operational reliability and predictability in the railway environment, and we have extensive experience in delivering machines that operate safely even under complex conditions on the track. Through regular, documented maintenance and careful monitoring in ECM-certified workshops, we ensure that the machines maintain their safety level throughout their entire life cycle. Our principle in the workshop is the same as out on the track: we build safely, or not at all.
