Used Hi-Rail Trucks

Railroad maintenance and inspection work demands vehicles capable of operating on both highways and tracks. Used hi-rail trucks from Custom Truck One Source provide this capability at prices that make fleet expansion achievable. Our preowned railroad trucks feature retractable rail gear systems, allowing crews to drive to jobsites on roads and transition seamlessly onto tracks for maintenance operations.

Benefits of Preowned Railroad Equipment

Our used railroad trucks for sale include pickups, service trucks and specialized maintenance vehicles from established manufacturers. Each undergoes a thorough evaluation of both road-going components and rail gear systems before we add it to our inventory.

Rail gear functionality is critical. Hydraulic systems must raise and lower wheels reliably, flanged wheels need proper alignment and safety interlocks must function correctly. Through an inspection, we verify these systems operate as designed, so you’re acquiring equipment ready for track access.

Where Can I Use a Hi-Rail for Maximum Value?

Railroad operations use hi-rail trucks across multiple applications:

• Track inspection vehicles: Supervisors and inspectors use these trucks to access remote track sections, conducting visual assessments and documenting conditions.
• Section gang trucks: Maintenance crews rely on these vehicles to transport workers, tools and materials directly to worksites along the rail line.
• Specialized service units: Welding trucks, material handlers and equipment carriers bring specific capabilities to railroad maintenance and construction projects.
