RAIL SOLUTIONS
Equipment and technology
across the railway.
Railway procurement must consider the whole operating environment: vehicles, track, maintenance and infrastructure condition.
Our rail division covers locomotives, wagons and rolling-stock spare parts, together with railway electrification technology, line-maintenance solutions and infrastructure diagnostics.
ROLLING STOCK & COMPONENTS
Support the fleet.
Plan for maintenance.
Supply discussions cover diesel multiple units (DMUs), locomotives, passenger coaches and freight wagons, together with the components needed for railway operation and maintenance.
Compatibility, operating duty and maintenance needs guide the sourcing process. Technical drawings, equipment identification and applicable specifications provide the basis for evaluating a component or proposed supply.
SPARE PARTS & CONSUMABLES
Components that support availability.
Traction & running gear
Traction motors, bogies, wheels, axles and bearings are included in the supply scope. Discussions consider the vehicle configuration, operating duty and maintenance requirements of the fleet.
Fleet support
Spare-parts and consumable requirements can be coordinated with planned maintenance and component replacement. Share part references, drawings, quantities and delivery expectations to establish the scope.
RAIL MAINTENANCE & MODERNISATION
Support the asset through its working life.
Predictive maintenance & monitoring
Monitoring of rail infrastructure and rolling stock supports condition assessment and maintenance planning. Asset condition, available data and operating priorities guide the proposed monitoring scope.
Major component maintenance
The offering includes wheelset reprofiling and engine overhaul. Assessment starts with the equipment identity, condition and applicable maintenance requirements before the work scope is agreed.
Refurbishment, modernisation & repowering
Locomotives and track machines can be considered for refurbishment, modernisation or repowering. Technical evaluation considers the existing asset, intended operating role and interfaces affected by the proposed work.
HVAC & signalling services
Rolling-stock heating, ventilation and air-conditioning maintenance is complemented by signalling-system upgrades and maintenance. Each enquiry is scoped around the installed system and the railway’s operational requirements.
RAILWAY INFRASTRUCTURE
From track components to technical systems.
Track & components
Steel rails, sleepers, fasteners, switches and crossings support the functioning and maintenance of railway infrastructure. Specifications and compatibility with the existing track system guide supply discussions.
Maintenance equipment
Tamping machines, rail grinders, rail-welding equipment and hi-rail vehicles form part of the track-maintenance offering. Selection considers the intended work, track access and railway operating conditions.
Electrification & diagnostics
Technology supporting railway electrification and infrastructure diagnostics, with integration requirements assessed for the existing railway.
TRAIN DETECTION & RAIL SAFETY
Make infrastructure
conditions more visible.
Detection and monitoring technologies can help identify conditions that affect rolling stock, railway infrastructure and people working around the railway.
Ritshi’s published offering covers the applications below. System selection and integration must be assessed against the railway’s operational requirements and existing infrastructure.
Detection technology supports a broader safety and maintenance strategy; performance and compliance requirements must be established for each deployment.
- Broken rail detection
- Dragging equipment detection
- Rockslide and earth movement detection
- Flood and wash-out detection
- Flat-wheel detection
- Level-crossing detection
- Worksite protection
