Retro-fitting your tank car fleet has never been easier, quicker & less expensive!

Currently, to retrofit a fleet, a lot of time and cost is expended coordinating between Shippers, car owners, the AAR, various vendors and repair facilities.

What if:-

  • ALL the engineering, regulatory filings could be done simultaneously?

  • ALL the service components could be packaged in one shipment complete with detailed installation instructions?

  • ALL the project was managed by one person from the very first meeting to the final inspection?

TransQuip is your one and only solution. We have the engineering and operational experience to see your retro-fit project from beginning to end.

In addition, we can provide all the equipment necessary, custom packaged and delivered as needed, eliminating long lead times.

The entire project is singly managed by one person, ensuring swift and efficient communication at all times. TransQuip assumes full responsibility to ensure all parties are working as scheduled and according to plan.

By combining all of the above, we have seen customers save up to 30% on the cost of projects as well as reducing the overall turnaround time by months.

2024 & 2025 will see approximately 120,000 qualifications. It is estimated shop capacity can only accommodate 80,000 tank cars. Costs will continue to rise as demand increases and a number of manufacturers continue to struggle to meet current demand and are likely to further struggle as demand increases.
