Custom Rail Gear Design – Engineered Solutions by Mitchell Railgear

 In the rail industry, no two projects are exactly the same. Different terrains, vehicles, and operational requirements demand specialized equipment built to precise specifications. That’s where custom rail gear design becomes essential.


At Mitchell Railgear, we specialize in designing and manufacturing custom rail gear systems that are engineered to meet the unique needs of railway contractors, maintenance crews, and rail operators across Australia.

Why Custom Rail Gear Matters

  • Specific vehicle models

  • Unique job site conditions

  • Specialized maintenance tasks

  • Safety and compliance standards

  • Heavy-duty performance requirements

Custom-designed rail gear ensures that your equipment works efficiently, safely, and reliably in real-world rail environments.
