Locomotives don’t need wheel swaps often. But when they do, they don’t exactly roll into your local shop for a quick fix. That’s where Mountain steps in.
In East Carbon, Utah, our team tackled a challenging locomotive wheel replacement project where the only way to make repairs was to lift the entire train — one side at a time.
Our GMK6300L-1 is built for big jobs in tight spots — like a rail yard with no wiggle room. With all-terrain access and precise control, it handled the side-specific lifts like a pro, holding steady while our team swapped all four wheels.
Before any steel moved, our team mapped out the lift with 3D planning, ensuring stability, safety, and speed. When it came time to execute, the process was smooth, safe, and efficient — just how we like it.
