Nordco Inc. has introduced the first in a series of spare parts packages for its railway Maintenance-of-Way machinery. The spare parts packages help ensure that customers have key machine components available for machine maintenance and repair operations.

“We understand that our customers may need to repair a machine in the field at any time,” said Todd Antony, Nordco Director of Parts Sales.   “Having the right parts on hand means they get their crew back at work as quickly as possible. The spare parts packages help our customers identify the parts that make sense to have in stock for immediate use.”

The first phase of the spare parts package introduction focuses on “basic” applications, and includes selected critical components and high-wear items required to keep machines in operation. The initial spare parts packages are for the Nordco CX Hammer, TRIPP Tie Exchanger, and the SP2R and LS-2 Grabber Spike Pullers. Over the next few months the company will introduce Basic Spare Parts Packages for all of its major machine types. A second phase of the program will introduce expanded groups of replacement parts later this year.

Nordco is a leading designer and manufacturer of railroad Maintenance-of-Way machinery and provides a range of related track maintenance and inspection products and services. The company is headquartered in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, with operations in Oshawa, Ontario; Ridgefield, Connecticut; Blue Springs, Missouri; and Arcola, Illinois.
