SK Rail’s Preowned Track Construction & Maintenance Machines 

1.000 - 1.676 mm Gauge

Keeping a competitive edge over competition while maintaining the technical and economic standard of plant up to date as it is requested by customers worldwide, this is the big challenge of all railway construction companies competing in the national and international marketplaces. While the prices for track construction plant are raising all the time, the enormous competition in the various markets around the world leads to lower track work prices and thus much reduced profits. Profits however are needed for necessary investments into plant to keep a company competitive, - very much a catch 22 situation for contractors worldwide.

Another problem are the long delivery times nowadays for new on track plant. A lead time of over 2 years for a standard tamping machine or regulator or a 3 – 4 year wait for a ore custom built track renewal or laying train produce other big challenges a  contractor must face. With usual mobilization times of only 6 – 9 months, new plant cannot be purchased specifically for a job as there is simply not enough time apart from the also very challenging prices for new plant.

The answer to the problem is to employ preowned rather than new track construction machines. Preowned machines with up to date technology offer similar efficiency and output as brand new machines. We at SK Rail have a lot of experience to provide such preowned machines which provide a similar output, track quality and efficiency at much reduced cost and short delivery times.
