Crew Speeders are specialized vehicles that play a critical role in maintaining and inspecting light rail transit systems. These vehicles are designed to transport maintenance crews and their equipment quickly and efficiently along the tracks, allowing them to inspect and repair infrastructure components such as tracks and stations.

In this post, we'll take a closer look at what Crew Speeders are, how they work, and their advantages over other types of maintenance vehicles.

Our Rail Division builds a variety of hi-rail units from railgear on pickup trucks, rubber-tired excavators, one off specialized applications to large 230 ton rail crane builds, we really do try and build it all. We live by our moto, “If You Can Think It, We Can Build It”, however we have narrowed down our standard builds to four standard packages. These units are still customizable but they are packages we build often and have perfected. With almost 35 years in the rail industry, we know what works and what our customers require to get the job done effectively, efficiently, and safely. We have broken down our four standard Falcon hi-rail packages, so you can determine what is right for your application and see what each package comes equipped with.
