Coming from the rail industry, our team knows exactly what this industry needs.
Tractive Power Corporation's TP-56/TP-70's are currently manufactured by Curry Rail Services of Hollidaysburg, PA. They have expensive manufacturing facilities as well as over 30 miles of track available for testing our industrial locomotive.
The first TP56 shown here was built at our Squamish, BC faciliities back in 2011. It currently is in use by a grain handler.
The TP70 has the same dimensions as the TP56 but is heavier thus being able to provide 70,000 lbs. of tractive effort.
A TP56 is Pulling 14 loaded cars up a 3% incline in 3rd notch! Contact us for more information about its capabilities and what it can do for your business.
Completed just before the pandemic, the new TP90 was built tailored the client's specific needs.
