Solutions for Railways and Contractors


VFC design, produce and distribute machines for the construction and the maintenance of your railway rail track with a focus on the rail welding activities:

Induction rail welding machine, available as mobile rail welding system or as stationary rail welding system:
  Mobile rail welding machine integrated onto a rail-road system (railroad rail welding truck or rail welding excavator),
  Rail welding machine integrated into a containerized system (rail welding container),

Flash-butt rail welding machine (on request and as an alternative), the following rail welding systems can be proposed:
  Mobile rail welding machine integrated onto a rail-road system (railroad rail welding truck),
  Rail welding machine integrated into a containerized system (rail welding container),

 Rail slow bend test press: The SBP machine allows to test the rail weld and is part of the welding process homologation procedure.
  The press can be integrated into a trailer or a container,
  Rail weld slow bend test according EN14587, EN14730, AS 1085.20, AREMA,

Rail straightening machines
  Mobile/Stationnary vertical rail (welding joint) straightening press MVP120, can be supplied with a dismountable gantry crane and then transportable by two persons, available with lorry for quick to carry the press along/on the rail track, or it can be installed as stationary rail bender as well,
  Portable vertical rail (welding joint) straightening press PVP110 is transportable by two persons,
  Portable horizontal rail (welding joint) straightening press PHP50 is transportable by two persons,

Rail grinding machines
  Rail head grinder,
  Rail web grinder,
  Rail end grinder,

Long welded rail handling equipment: Rail lifting clamps, Rail conveyors and trolleys to carry Short Rails (SR) and Long Welded Rails (LWR)
