Bespoke railway axles for road-rail vehicles
As a specialist in the manufacturing of bespoke railway axles, Paillard supports industry professionals in developing equipment tailored to the specific demands of road-rail vehicles. These hybrid machines—designed to operate both on roads and railway tracks—require specially engineered axles capable of withstanding highly specific mechanical stresses.
Our axles are developed to integrate seamlessly into the complex systems of these vehicles, accommodating dual-mode traction, combined braking systems, and compliance with both road and railway standards. Through a personalized analysis of your needs, we deliver custom solutions that combine precision, safety, and perfect chassis integration.
Each axle is designed to ensure smooth transitions between road and rail while maintaining optimal performance—even under extreme conditions. The reliability of our axles ensures uninterrupted operation of road-rail vehicles, which are frequently used for railway network maintenance and logistics.
