RAILROAD & MECHANICAL
TRACTION MOTOR & WHEEL CHANGES
Hulcher Services has been an integral partner with the railroads for over 50 years assisting with wheel, idler and traction motor change outs. When you need lift capabilities to change out wheels or traction motors consider the industry experts with over half a century of experience and equipment to get the job done right - quickly and safety.
Hulcher offers traction motor change outs as part of our line of mechanical services for the railroad industry. Other contractors are capable of changing the idler but Hulcher's professional crews can replace the traction motor itself.
If you're in charge of keeping your locomotives running, you know changing the idler is only one part of the job. You still need to tow the engine back to the yard to change out the motor because until then your locomotive can't service any cars. That's valuable time lost in your train schedule.
Hulcher allows you to skip the costly two-step process by replacing the traction motor so your engine can get back into service immediately. We can also assist with pick up and delivery of the new motor to your yard, freeing your mechanical resources to work on other tasks.
Our experienced rail crews can be deployed from any of our divisions strategically located throughout the United States and Mexico. Your work can be pre-scheduled or when a critical need arises, we can mobilize our resources within one hour of your call - any time, day or night.
Power issues mean expensive delays in your rail schedule and because your personnel are unable to complete the traction motor or wheel change because of our tasks. Hulcher extends your mechanical resources allowing you to get your locomotives back to full service without delaying other work or an unnecessary trip back to the rail yard.
When you need a qualified railroad contractor to perform your traction motor or wheel change, call Hulcher at 833-316-0035 to speak to one of our Field Service Specialists.
