Cowans Sheldon long welded rail transportation delivery and recovery systems are widely used in the UK rail industry, delivering 32 CEN60 type rails, 2 simultaneously either side of the train in lengths of up to 216m in a 3 hour possession period. In areas of heavy wear, the systems are capable of uplifting and transposing rail.
