Powering Innovation for Hydraulic Solutions is our DNA. Almost 60 years of developing, engineering and producing for both high-pressure industrial and rescue applications drew us to the world of rerailing a decade ago. Our main goal was clear: to develop a lighter, faster system for high-stakes safety and downtime situations, without compromising

A connected railway can monitor faults, share information and coordinate complex operations in real time. Those capabilities are valuable. But imagine the moment when the network goes silent. Which systems can passengers still rely on to get out? Modern trains use digital communications, signalling, diagnostics and passenger information systems to support

Britain’s mainline railway recorded 11,289 assaults on its workforce in 2025-26, a rise of 12% on the year before, according to the Office of Rail and Road. More than half (6,390) were verbal abuse. For many station staff the hardest part of the job comes at the end of the

When comparing air compressor technologies, the debate between rotary vane and rotary screw has long been dominated by market familiarity rather than engineering merit. A closer technical look, however, reveals a consistent story: rotary vane compressors are fundamentally superior in long-term efficiency, reliability and suitability for demanding environments like rail
