it’s not just our machines
that do the heavy lifting

PLANT | PEOPLE | PROCESS

We own over 80 road rail vehicles and a broad range of attachments – all of which are Any Lines Open (ALO) and RIS-1530-PLT compliant.

Each year we continue to invest in our rail plant and attachments, listening to the needs of our customers and finding innovative ways to meet them. As a result, 80% of our fleet is less than three years old.

Our 300 strong workforce includes, POS Supervisors, Crane Controllers, Machine Controllers, Plant Operatives and contingent labour, and is led by an experienced management team.

We believe in training and up-skilling our workforce to ensure they have the competencies and know-how for every job they undertake.

From investing in the design of new equipment, to operating it on track – health and safety is our top priority. As a part of our behavioural safety strategy ‘Destination Total Safety’, we constantly look out for the health, safety and welfare of our people, and our customers.

DESTINATION TOTAL SAFETY

We are one team with one vision for health and safety excellence: Destination Total Safety. Through collaboration, awareness and management leadership, we are committed to eliminating unsafe actions, minimising risks and ensuring a safe and healthy working environment for each other.

As we grow, we aim to stay agile. From responding rapidly to 24/7 emergency projects, to our long-term commitment to developing innovative rail plant– we continually strive to understand and meet the rail industry’s changing needs.

We share our clients’ objectives, responsibilities and, ultimately, their successes. We work closely with our customers, building relationships based on honesty and integrity. It’s therefore no surprise that our customers keep coming back.

We believe that successful projects are delivered by competent and highly skilled teams. We encourage our workforce to develop their competencies and knowledge to the best of their ability – and provide the resources to enable them to do so.

HOW WE BEGAN

As one of the leading rail plant hire companies in the UK, our aim is to continue to drive sustainable growth year-on-year...

Formed in 2007, Total Rail Solutions started life as a consultancy business. By mid-2008 we set about becoming a leading road-rail plant hire company, focused on the operated rail plant market. This required three key operational enablers – the best people, the right on-track plant and the safest processes. 

We quickly built a highly experienced management team, attracting leaders with strong and successful track records. Upon the award of our Plant Operations Scheme (POS) approval we invested heavily in our fleet of on track plant and attachments. We also set out to develop a culture based on ensuring safety and quality in every process we undertake. 

Over the past 15 years TRS has supported construction and civil engineering contractors on some of the most prestigious UK rail infrastructure schemes.

From RRV, plant and labour hire, to end to end project management solutions. Because no two rail projects are the same, we take time to understand your requirements and find the best solution!
