Geismar, worldwide leader in track laying, maintenance and renewal is thrilled to unveil its two new battery-powered machines for sustainable on-track bolting and rail de-stressing operations.

Geismar showcased Mantis, the most powerful railway battery-powered impact wrench on the market, and Nautilus, a brand new electro-hydraulic high-pressure unit to feed rail tensors and weld shearing machines.

As a world leader in tracklaying, track-maintenance and track-renewal equipment, Geismar is delighted to announce that we will take part in the 13th edition of the InnoTrans exhibition in Berlin from 20/09 to 23/09/2022.

Geismar, a world leader in track and catenary installation, renewal and maintenance equipment, will exhibit in Münster from Tuesday 31st May to Thursday 2nd June 2022 at the 28th edition of the IAF, the key event for rail professionals.

From May 31st to June 2nd, 2022, Geismar will have the pleasure of showcasing its solutions and know-how during the 28th International Exhibition on Track Technology IAF.

Geismar has been developing portable combustion-engine machines for several decades, renowned for their robustness and proven reliability. This large fleet of combustion-engine machines currently in operation as well as today’s environmental challenges have pushed Geismar to develop an innovative solution for conversion to electric power.

The new GEISMAR EMERALD track parameter measurement module is an ideal asset for track inspection and safety. Towed by a light rail vehicle or a road-rail vehicle, it allows to moderate investments by completing the existing inspection equipment fleet while bringing simplicity, performance and ergonomics to the measurement. Recently well welcomed in Canada, the EMERALD is starting to be talked about in other parts of the world.

Since 2008, in order to meet a growing demand for preventive inspection of railway infrastructures, GEISMAR has launched and expanded a range of non-destructive rail inspection solutions and technologies. Ranging from hand-pushed trolley to onboard systems on autonomous railway vehicles, GEISMAR solutions adapt to different budgets and rail networks (metros, depots, railroads, …), while maintaining accuracy and reliability of measurements.

The optimal technology for catenary maintenance.

High output renewal trains are well known in the track world for renewing rails, sleepers or ballast with high efficiency. Why not replicate this approach for catenary work? This is the specification that has been proposed in France by SNCF Réseau to renew almost 16,000 km of electrified track. After long months of design and manufacture in cooperation with Colas Rail and TSO Catenaries, the first GEISMAR SRC fast catenary suite is at work every night on the 25,000-volt network. In 2021, a second rapid catenary suite will operate on the 1,500-volt network. Unrivalled performance in catenary renewal has already been achieved.
