Rail rolling stock component specialist, Sabre Rail, has been appointed by Atlas Copco Compressors as an authorised distributor for its GAR range of rail vehicle rotary screw compressors.
Commenting on his company’s appointment, Adrian Handley, Head of Sales, Sabre Rail Services Ltd, said:
“This is an important and essential addition to the products and engineering services that we provide alongside our established range of advanced bogie components, dampers and braking systems.
“Atlas Copco’s GAR compressors match the air supply needs for a whole range of rail vehicles – main line and heavy duty diesel locomotives, shunting trains, EMUs, DMUs, Metro Cars and LRVs. We look forward to a long and successful partnership with Atlas Copco.”
As part of Atlas Copco’s GA compressor family, its GAR range of rail vehicle rotary screw compressors combine advanced rotary screw technology and robust simplicity for operation in harsh and extreme conditions such as those found in rail vehicle applications.
The compressors provide a reliable source of compressed air for a range of rail vehicle applications that include pneumatic braking systems, air suspension, door operation, track sanding, pantograph elevation and other auxiliaries.
These units provide special benefits to the rail industry in the form of leakage free design, minimal noise and vibration levels, long service intervals (up to 4000 hours), and low life cycle costs.
