Re-Builds
Setting the Standard for Rebuilds, Remanufactures and Upgrades
A lot of companies tell you they rebuild, remanufacture and upgrade locomotives, personnel carriers and other equipment, when all they’re doing is rebuilding them. At Irwin Car and Equipment, we’re different, and better. As the saying goes, “you get what you pay for.”
Before
Our definition of rebuild is:
- Determining the equipment problem
- Repairing equipment so it runs
- Applying an exterior coat of paint
To us, remanufacturing means:
- Disassembling down to the bare chassis
- Sandblasting, then repairing any structural damage
- Inspecting, repairing or replacing all components
- Assembling and testing our in-house track with a 5% upgrade
After
When upgrading equipment, Irwin Car:
- Replaces motor control systems with the latest IGBT systems
- Replaces mechanical-pneumatic or –hydraulic brake systems with wet or dry disc brakes to reduce the need for maintenance
- Improves or installs suspensions systems
- Improves integrity of frames
- Improves passenger seating for added comfort, increasing lumbar support and reducing fatigue
- Improving operator cab layout, including control positions, viewing and general ergonomics
