Euromaint Rail offers all types of maintenance services for rolling stock for freight transport. Cost efficiency and reliability are essential to our customers.
Faults that cause downtime to a fully laden freight train can cause delays and considerable costs. Our aim is to improve our customer’s competitiveness by increasing the availability, reliability and working life of freight carriages and locomotives. We achieve this by offering comprehensive maintenance services in our workshops, onsite at our customers or in the field.
Our offering covers all types of vehicle for freight traffic rolling stock, i.e. locomotives and different freight carriages. We prioritise cost efficiency and availability. We also carry out heavier maintenance and upgrades of locomotives to ensure the working life of the vehicles.
Comprehensive maintenance offering
Maintenance of locomotives and freight carriages occurs in the event of damage or according to set maintenance schedules and consists of:
- Annual inspections, function checks and condition assessments
- Preventive maintenance such as lubrication and replacement of worn parts
- Remedial maintenance such as the replacement of brake shoes and wheels in the event of damage
- The replacement and reprocessing of high value components such as wheel and traction motors
- Preventive and remedial maintenance via mobile service teams
- Heavier maintenance, so-called overhauls, of locomotives and carriages
- Refurbishment, upgrades and adaptations
Mobile maintenancefor more efficient traffic
The maintenance of rolling stock for freight traffic is becoming more mobile. Damage is rectified at trackside or onsite with the customer in ports and terminals. Our mobile service teams are currently so well equipped that the vehicle can almost always be made serviceable at the site where the damage occurred. Our service vehicles are equipped with cranes, portable turning equipment and brake testers and can carry out:
The majority of our workshops have mobile service teams and reaction times depend on where on the track the damaged vehicle is, accessibility and what type of equipment is needed.
Maintenance and overhaul of locomotives and carriages
Availability is also the focus for the maintenance of locomotives. Preventative efforts have to be made during operational breaks and remedial maintenance is often carried out remotely. In the event of heavier maintenance, so-called overhauls, our dedicated locomotive workshops use special equipment and specialist expertise within locomotive maintenance.
