Positioning Railcars with Precision at Pacific Elements

/in

Pacific Elements LLC, a leading producer of custom premix animal feed in Turlock, CA, turned to DymaxRail for a rear mounted railcar coupler to help them position cars in their terminal.

It’s the perfect dual purpose solution. Paired with an extended reach JCB TaskMaster Loader with telescopic boom, the DymaxRail coupler provides a safe way to move railcars around the facility, while retaining the ability to load materials for local customers.

Pacific Elements provides mineral, vitamin and supplement feed to clients across the Western U.S.

Blasting Through Australia’s Rugged Terrain

/in

Throwback Thursday: In 2015, we traveled to Karratha, Australia, to introduce some updates to our Twin Ballast Tamper and Ballast Blaster Undercutters. These products were used by Rio Tinto, one of the world’s largest mining companies, and mounted on Railmax Hi-Rail Excavators. With over 40 trains moving to and from the port daily, combined with extreme summer weather, their tracks require constant maintenance.

DymaxRail’s Twin Ballast Tamper delivers powerful compaction force and is an excellent addition to undercutting operations. Seen here tamping fresh ballast.

As the operator cuts and removes the fouled materials using the DymaxRail Ballast Blaster, the other Railmax machine awaits fresh ballast before tamping.

Reza was an excellent hand and kept Scott from causing too much disruption. 

Upon our return, we visited Tasmania to meet with other members of the Railmax team. 

We also explored Dampier and got to watch the locals string up a chunky Tiger Shark!  

Can’t believe that was almost a decade ago. It’s crazy to think how time flies when you’re having fun!
