Lindsey Mills, Mechan’s sales manager, said: “Despite our existing links with KiwiRail, these orders were won through tender and our products judged impartially on their quality and value for money. We have proven the high level of reliability our jacks achieve and we expect that this was viewed positively in the decision-making process. We look forward to returning to New Zealand to complete the installation and by doing so, further extending our reputation for excellence across the country.”
Mechan is renowned for its flagship lifting jacks, which grace modern maintenance facilities worldwide. Sets of up to 48 can be synchronised and an entire lift managed by just one operator, allowing the longest trains to be serviced without decoupling, saving valuable downtime.
