What are Hi-Rail Vehicle Services?
Hi-rail vehicle services focus on the maintenance and repair of specialized equipment that operates on both roadways and railway tracks. These services are critical for ensuring the safety and functionality of the retractable guide wheel system—the core of any hi-rail machine. Without expert attention, these complex hydraulic and mechanical systems can fail, compromising safety and causing significant operational delays.
Understanding Hy-Rail and Hi-Rail Equipment
The terms “hy-rail” and “hi-rail” both refer to vehicles modified for railway travel. Proper maintenance requires expertise beyond standard truck repair. It involves calibrating guide wheels, servicing hydraulic power units, and ensuring all safety interlocks function perfectly to meet stringent rail industry standards. We service the full spectrum of hi-rail equipment, from pickup trucks with rail gear to heavy-duty hi-rail excavators and cranes, ensuring each machine is ready for dual-mode operation.
Complete Hi-Rail Services We Offer
We provide a complete range of services for your entire hi-rail fleet, from initial outfitting to end-of-life repairs. Our focus is on maximizing your asset’s uptime and ensuring operational safety on the track.
Hi-Rail Track Inspection and Maintenance
Failed inspection equipment means failed compliance. We service and repair the hi-rail vehicles that are essential for track geometry measurement, ultrasonic testing, and visual inspections. Our technicians ensure your vehicles’ rail gear is perfectly calibrated for smooth, accurate data collection, helping you meet or exceed Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) track safety standards and avoid costly penalties.
Hi-Rail Construction and Repair Support
Your construction timeline depends on functional heavy machinery. We provide on-site mobile service for hi-rail excavators, backhoes, cranes, and welding trucks to prevent minor issues from halting major projects. Whether it’s a hydraulic leak on a crane or a control system fault on an excavator, our mobile units arrive fully equipped to perform complex equipment repairs directly on the right-of-way, getting your project moving again.
Emergency Response and Utility Services with Hi-Rail
A breakdown on an active track is a critical emergency. Our mobile teams offer after-hours availability to respond to hi-rail failures in the field, including those affecting essential utility vehicles like hi-rail vacuum trucks. Fleet managers consistently praise our quick response times, knowing we can dispatch a knowledgeable mechanic to diagnose and fix the problem, minimizing network disruption and service outages.

The Benefits of Choosing Professional Hi-Rail Solutions
Partnering with a specialized hi-rail service provider protects your investment, your people, and your project timelines. It’s the difference between proactive management and reactive, costly repairs.
Enhanced Safety and Compliance in Rail Operations
Operating on rails carries zero margin for error. Our certified mechanics are trained in hi-rail-specific safety systems, ensuring that guide wheels engage properly, vehicle geometry is correct, and all modifications comply with rail regulations. This reduces the risk of derailment and workplace accidents, creating a safer environment for your operators and ensuring your fleet is inspection-ready at all times.
Efficiency and Project Timelines with Hi-Rail Fleets
Professional maintenance directly translates to project efficiency. By servicing your equipment on-site, we eliminate days of downtime typically lost to transporting machinery to a repair shop. A well-maintained hi-rail fleet means your projects start on time, stay on schedule, and finish on budget, maximizing your operational capacity and profitability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a hi-rail inspection?
A complete hi-rail inspection includes checking the guide wheel assemblies for wear, verifying hydraulic pressures and connections, testing all safety interlocks, inspecting welds and mounting hardware, and confirming proper alignment. We ensure the system deploys and retracts smoothly and is ready for safe operation on the track.
How is hi-rail service priced?
Hi-rail service pricing is based on the type of service (installation, maintenance, or repair), the specific vehicle, and the parts required. We provide transparent estimates before any work begins. To help manage cash flow, we also offer convenient financing through our cbCharge fleet accounts, simplifying your billing and payment process.
How does Utah's rugged terrain affect hi-rail equipment maintenance?
Utah’s steep grades and mountainous terrain place significant stress on hi-rail components, particularly the hydraulic systems and wheel bearings. We recommend more frequent inspection intervals for fleets operating in these conditions to catch wear and tear early. This proactive approach to truck maintenance prevents costly failures in remote locations.
