Transportation Equipment

Environmental Rail Solutions has an extensive list of rail equipment to meet the operating demands of your project. As part of its diverse services offering, ERS welcomes the opportunity to prepare a proposal for short term/long term leases of this equipment. Those interested should contact Mr. David Ardito, VP at 732-212-8140 or via email at david@envrail.com

ERS’s fleet includes all steel, flat floor gondolas with 2,743 cu. ft. capacity which are constructed for 286,000 lb. Gross Rail Load in accordance with AAR standard S-286. The inside dimensions are: length- 52’6’, width- 9” 6’’ and height- 5’6””. They are equipped with a body-mount brake system, with double acting slack adjusters. The air brake system is designed and applied with AAR Specification S-401. Built in 2005 by Trinity, these cars have a tare weight of 64,000 pounds allowing you the ability to maximize every load.

The ERS fleet includes 40 articulated flat cars which are approximately 90 feet in length. The railcar design enables a much more cost effective when transporting dense material such as soil, clay or other aggregates. ERS’ intermodal containers can be double stacked to maximize the material being transported. The flat cars are listed in UMLER as having a tare weight of 70,000 lbs. and a maximum weight on rail of 424,000 lbs. 

Intermodals

Our intermodal fleet is comprised of late model hard lid containers. They are 20’ in length, 8’ wide and 6.5’ tall for a total volume of 25 cubic yards.  The containers are water tight and in compliance with industrial packaging IP1 standards. We also have a mix of hard-lid and tarp type strong tight intermodals to meet every loading style. Our Intermodals are transported via our fleet of 6-position ABC rail cars. When loaded with our intermodals the railcars enable us to transport a maximum 26.4-tons of product per intermodal container. This gives our clients the maximum payload per intermodal possible which reduces site time and cost.

ERS supplies trackmobiles to facilitate operations at your site. This includes a newly refurbished Trackmobile 55 TM. Depending on track condition it is cable of maneuvering 7 loaded gondola rail cars. The trackmobile undergoes an extensive monthly preventative maintenance program to reduce or eliminate down time. ERS will evaluate your needs and mobilize the appropriate unit for your circumstances.

ERS has several styled spreader bars to facilitate the loading of intermodal containers, gondola lid handling and poly bag loading. Several of these were made to specification to meet the needs of a given project. ERS will work with you to determine the requirements and ensure that equipment is properly designed for safe operation at your project site.
