Member Details:
Mechan is a UK company specialising in the design, manufacture and maintenance of railway depot handling equipment. Built to withstand the constant demands of rail depots, our lifting and handling equipment will outperform, outsmart and outlast our rivals. Our range of UK-manufactured products includes Lifting Jacks, Bogie Drops, Railway Traversers, Accommodation Bogies and Crane Products. With our team of dedicated design engineers, we have the capacity to design bespoke products which will fulfil your exact technical requirements.
Since becoming part of the CIM Group in 2017, our extensive range of lifting and handling equipment is now part of a wider portfolio of products and services designed specifically to meet the needs of modern depots and track maintenance teams. We are also official UK agents for several key railway maintenance products. This has enabled us to add products to our range including Wheel Lathes, Wheel Presses, Rail Shunters, Wheel Profile Gauges, Brake Force Measuring and Rail Sandbox Filling Systems.
Another important side of our business is maintenance, servicing and refurbishment of Railway Equipment. Our skilled mechanical, electrical and software engineers maintain Mechan’s machinery and also third party products. Our technical team receive full training and backup, to ensure they stay up-to-date with the latest technology and carry a selection of spare parts that can be fitted in the same visit if required.
We provide a host of specialist maintenance programmes tailored to our clients’ needs, including maintenance contracts. Contract customers can benefit from reduced hourly rates for emergency call-outs and access to unrivalled technical support. Regular maintenance reduces downtime for our clients and prolongs the productivity of machinery, providing a much greater return on investment. Contractual servicing will also help our customers to meet legal requirements to protect employees and give them greater confidence in our equipment.
We hold several internationally recognised standards for the quality of our products, services and systems. These include ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. Green policies are at the forefront of our development and we are constantly seeking innovative ways to reduce our environmental impact and improve sustainability that benefit employees and customers alike. We are also RISQS accredited, and hold a FORS Silver award, which promotes best practice for commercial vehicle operators.
