Heating for train and rail defrosting

Mobile heaters deliver targeted, consistent heating to equipment and components affected by ice buildup. This helps to defrost and dry these parts much faster, so delays are kept to a minimum.

Using the right heating units can help:

• Increase rail safety

• Enhance reliability

• Reduce delays

• Prevent frozen switches

• Reduce maintenance costs and repair frequency

• Avoid the need to de-ice tracks using environmentally damaging chemicals
