HiRail building starts underneath

A strong start.
Before the next stage.

More than 60 brand new HiRail trucks. Standard has contributed spring and suspension preparation for Canada’s two major national rail carriers, before service bodies and railgear are installed.

Leaf springs, add a leaf work and heavy duty suspension upgrades form our part of the build. That support continues when working HiRail vehicles return for repair and further upgrades.
