Rail Plant

Your mechanised workforce

Introducing new products, keeping up with maintenance or even designing a whole new machine, all in line with safety regulations, takes time and huge resource.

We can reduce your time, cost and risk in getting your on-track machinery, plant or product certified for use on Network Rail infrastructure.

Portable and Transportable Plant

Network Rail is now out-sourcing the assessment of new or modified on track plant and portable/transportable plant for product acceptance to Plant Assessment Bodies (PAB).

We are accredited to undertake product acceptance work on behalf Network Rail for all portable and transportable plant.
We can help you with your application for your product right through to the assessment to be certified for use on Network Rail infrastructure.
