Unipart Rail and McCulloch Rail Partnership

Unipart Rail has formed an alliance with McCulloch Rail to enable worldwide rail track maintenance and construction projects to be completed in less time with reduced operational costs through the use of innovative railway component handling and movement equipment.

McCulloch Rail is a specialist in rail handling and rail logistics with many years’ experience in the development and manufacture of innovative technologies and solutions that eliminate manual handling and improve the accuracy and efficiency of installations.

At the core of the capability is a range of machines, developed by McCulloch Rail and manufactured by Unipart Rail, that can be adapted to suit the particular requirements of the site and the project.

By joining forces, Unipart Rail and McCulloch Rail can provide a full package of solutions including consultancy services, site visit assessments to establish how project efficiencies can be achieved, finance options to suit the customer and project, and spares and maintenance programmes to reduce the overall cost of ownership and reduce operational risks.

Through the combination of Unipart Rail’s site support network, extensive industry knowledge, our combined manufacturing capability and McCulloch Rail’s technical expertise,
a wide range of solutions can be provided for the installation, movement and removal of sleepers and rail on a worldwide basis.
