All products are designed to improve reliability, efficiency, and safety in railway operations and incorporate various unique features for all rail requirements including interchangeable batteries, meaning one battery fits all tools and a lightweight and ergonomic design. 

Approved by Network Rail, the tools are all portable, allowing maintenance teams access to even the most challenging and remote locations with ease and they are all HAVS (Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome) tested following the relevant BS EN standard, therefore increasing safety for operators. The partnership offers innovative and sustainable solutions to optimize rail infrastructure maintenance processes.

Neil McNicholas, Managing Director, Unipart Rail, said, "We are proud to partner with Racine Railroad Products UK. This collaboration stands as a testament to our shared dedication to innovation, performance enhancement, and excellence in global rail maintenance and construction. 

"Together, we are excited to deliver cutting-edge solutions that will transform how infrastructure maintenance operators manage and maintain rail systems, setting new standards for efficiency and reliability.

"The lightweight nature of these innovative tools improves performance and productivity and the safety and welfare of users is enhanced through the significantly reduced Hand Arm Vibration."
