Hi-Rail Vehicle Maintenance in Panama City, FL
Panama City Mobile Mechanic provides hi-rail vehicle maintenance for the railroad maintenance trucks that run the rails across the Florida panhandle. Hi-rail trucks are part road vehicle and part rail vehicle, and the rail gear takes specialized knowledge to service right. We bring that work to your hi-rail fleet on site.
Rail Gear and Guide Wheel Service
The rail gear is what makes a hi-rail truck a hi-rail. We service the front and rear guide wheel assemblies, the rail wheel bearings and axles, the lifting cylinders, and the rail brake system. The guide wheels wear against the rail, and we handle the wheel grinding, the bearing service, and the replacement that keeps the gear tracking straight. We also inspect and service the rail wheel flanges.
Coupler and Rail Brake Systems
The coupler and the rail brake are part of the rail side of the truck. We handle the coupler repair, the gladhand and air line service for the rail brake system, and the brake cylinder work. The rail brakes are separate from the road brakes and need their own service attention.
Road and Rail Hybrid Service
Because a hi-rail is a truck on the road too, we service the road side as well. The engine, the transmission, the road brakes, the steering, and the lighting all get the same fleet service attention. We keep both sides of the truck running so it can roll to the site and run the rail without a separate shop visit.
