Business Profile A leader in innovative bespoke design
Arbil Rail not only has a wealth of experience in the manufacture of leading rail products such as the Zwicky™ range of hydraulic track jacks, it also has impressive capabilities in bespoke manufacturing fabrications
I
n existence for more than 50 years, Arbil Rail is a perfect example of an organisation with many layers about
which the industry only fully knows the top one. Most are aware of Arbil’s ability to source leading rail products, particularly in permanent way and track maintenance, however fewer know of its vast engineering capabilities - something the company is now looking to bring to everyone’s attention. Brian Timmington, Arbil’s Engineering
manager explained: ‘I enjoy designing and providing solutions for our customer’s rail maintenance needs. It is the varied workload that Arbil undertakes that keeps things interesting. Jobs vary from day-to-day, from bespoke post and jibs, to fabricating lifting equipment for the safe removal of steam engines, to a 24 tonne capacity lattice beam, which measured an impressive 21 metres in length.’ Timmington continued: ‘We don’t just
manufacture lifting solutions though. We are also proud to work closely with the big name rail infrastructure organisations to provide innovative new ideas to make the working conditions of rail workers as safe as possible. We have recently designed and manufactured a safety shield for mechanical jacks with open mechanisms; these shields encourage correct operational use of the jack. We have also developed a fleet of aluminium access walkways for wagons, to allow easy and safe access for workers, along with a current project, now under trial, to enhance the safety and ease of lifting and laying sleepers. ‘In the past maybe we have been a
little reserved about showing off our manufacturing capabilities, but now we want to share it and I’m looking forward to the next big design challenges!’
