Hi rail equipment refers to specialised vehicles equipped with both road wheels and rail wheels, allowing them to seamlessly transition between operating on standard roads and railway tracks. This dual capability enables the vehicles to drive to a railway site on roads, then deploy rail wheels to operate directly on the tracks. P&M Galea's hi rail fleet includes hi rail water trucks and hi rail vacuum trucks designed specifically for railway maintenance tasks. The equipment provides the flexibility to quickly access specific locations along rail corridors, perform necessary maintenance work, and return to road operation without requiring additional transport or specialised rail vehicles.

P&M Galea offers comprehensive hi rail equipment services including hi rail water truck services for dust suppression, track stabilisation, and water delivery to rail maintenance sites, as well as hi rail vacuum truck services for debris removal, waste extraction, and cleanup operations along railway corridors. These services support various railway maintenance activities throughout NSW including ballast cleaning, vegetation management support, emergency response for spills or debris, track maintenance assistance, and environmental protection during rail projects. With over 20 years of experience in rail related operations, P&M Galea understands the unique demands and tight schedules of railway maintenance work.

Hi rail equipment offers significant advantages for railway maintenance including reduced downtime through quick deployment and seamless road to rail transitions, enhanced safety by reducing manual labour in hazardous environments like steep gradients, cost effectiveness through multi tasking capabilities without deploying additional resources, and environmental protection by accessing sites without disturbing surrounding vegetation. The equipment's flexibility allows maintenance tasks to be completed efficiently within tight railway timetables, minimising disruptions to scheduled train services. For Sydney's busy rail network, this translates to faster project completion whilst maintaining safety and operational standards.

Hi rail equipment significantly enhances safety on railway maintenance projects by reducing the need for workers to operate in potentially hazardous trackside environments. The vehicles can safely access steep gradients and difficult terrain along railway corridors that would be dangerous for manual labour or standard equipment. Hi rail trucks eliminate the need for workers to carry materials or equipment along tracks, reducing exposure to moving trains and unstable surfaces. Additionally, the ability to quickly transition between road and rail operation means faster evacuation if necessary and better response times during emergencies. P&M Galea's experienced operators understand railway safety protocols and work within established protection systems.
