In the fast-paced rail industry, you can’t afford for your equipment to let you down because downtime isn’t an option when people rely on you.
For over 40 years we’ve been supplying the rail industry with the tools they need to overcome their manual handling challenges and get the job done. We understand that the rail industry has specific needs and safety requirements that very often off the shelf products cannot match. Penny Hydraulics has the in house design capability using the latest CAD modelling to solve your lifting and handling problems.
Our range of Vehicle Mounted Lifting Equipment is designed to reduce the risk of manual handling injuries and increase efficiency. The range comprises of SwingLift cranes, hydraulic PH cranes, hydraulic loading platforms and winches and hoists. These lifting solutions are usually mounted to vehicles, working with rail operators we have also developed trolley cranes and trailer cranes that can operate on road and rail. If a vehicle-mounted lifting solution is what you need, we’re proud approved converters of VW, Renault, Nissan, and Ford commercial vehicles. We also have a vast amount of experience in converting other manufacturers vehicles.
When mounted to your vehicle, lifts enable drivers to move heavy and bulky items on and off the vehicle easily, safely, and efficiently.
