About Aquarius
At Aquarius we believe in making everyday railway maintenance tasks simpler and safer. We are specialists in the manufacture, hire and maintenance of highway based road/rail vehicles. All from Road to Rail to Site.
Our core hire product is the R2R 4×4: a tough 4 wheel drive Land Rover that is readily adaptable to many applications in the rail infrastructure market from scanning to cable pulling, seasonal treatment (autumn leaf fall) to OLE isolation, and of course quite simply personnel and tool carrying.
With a wealth of expertise in design, engineering and manufacture at Aquarius we are passionate about innovation. We have developed a wide range of niche products to meet our clients requirements.
Aquarius solutions include our R2R D-Max and R2R Ranger vehicles, as well as, our compact Rail Mules with Ultra Light Trailers. All available to purchase with a service/maintenance package.
Our Load Tray Extension (LTE) gives additional payload and the Road2Rail Trailer is our solution to deliver rubber tracked plant, light weight troughs, equipment or materials weighing up to 3 tonnes quickly from road to the track work site.
