Harsco Corporation’s railway track maintenance division, Harsco Rail, announced new sales of its railway track grinders for service in contract rail grinding programs throughout North America. The sales to RailWorks Corporation, one of North America’s leading track and transit construction and maintenance service businesses, mark Harsco’s successful return to the North American contract grinding sector, where Harsco rail grinding machines have long been a major player in improving track conditions and enhancing safety.
These latest configurations include Harsco’s Jupiter II Control System; a laser profile measurement system that provides accurate and reliable measurement of rail profiles in real time; and other features such as onboard dust collection and fire suppression, and an ergonomically-designed operator cabin equipped to minimize external vibrations and noise.
RailWorks already has two of the Harsco grinders in active service, with a third unit most recently entering service in November. The sale of a potential fourth unit is anticipated within the first half of 2017. Once concluded, the sales are projected to have a combined value approaching $20 million.
