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.
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 to OLE isolation, and of course quite simply personnel and tool carrying – All from Road to Rail to Site
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 BV1000 and Welding Road2Rail 4x4s; vehicles to tackle autumn leaf fall on track and ice on the third rail; compact Rail Mules with Ultra Light Trailers: and an RRV truck the Rail Canter for larger projects.
Our latest products: the Load Tray Extension (LTE) gives additional payload and the Road2Rail Plant Trailer is our solution to delivery rubber tracked plant, equipment or materials weighing up to 2.7 tonnes quickly from road to the track work site.
