FBRS JV is seeking expressions of interest from suppliers capable of providing a road-rail trailer solution to transport and handle 216m long welded rail sections across tracked and trackless environments, including tunnels.
The solution may be bespoke, modified from an existing asset, or based on a proven product. It must be capable of safely transporting at least eight 216m rail sections per load, operating on both road and rail, negotiating 5,000m radius curves, maximum 160mm canted sections can't deficiency, 3.50% maximum gradients, and achieving speeds above 10km/h, subject to supplier technical evidence.
Suppliers should be able to demonstrate relevant capability and experience in road-rail plant, specialist rail handling equipment, design/modification, certification, testing, operation, and maintenance. FBRS JV is also interested in solutions that support reuse, asset repurposing, and lower-carbon outcomes.
