Lines Linking Lives
Technical
We connect Africa, we move Africa. With a skilled team of in-house artisans and decades of experience in maintaining, rebuilding and overhauling locomotives to OEM standards, we make both the present and the future vibrant and viable.
Part sales
Strong supplier relationships and a refusal to deliver anything but high quality, cost effective parts are synonymous with Traxtion Sheltam. We only sell locomotive, wagon, and track parts that we would use in our own fleet. We add extra value for our customers through unit exchange and parts refurbishment.
Locomotive Rebuild and Overhaul
With the development of our Rosslyn rail services hub, we have the ability to rebuild up to 9 locomotives at any time, giving us the capacity to match our capabilities.
Track Services
We provide light track maintenance for sidings and small branch lines as well as new track installations.
Field Services
Our dedicated team of diesel electric fitters makes use of our mobile workshop system to speedily respond to breakdowns and other problems in remote areas.
Maintenance
We specialise in the repair and maintenance of diesel and electric locomotives as well as rolling stock for mining, industrial, freight and state-owned enterprises throughout Sub-Saharan Africa.
Rosslyn Technical Base
Our 50 000 sqm rail service hub has 11 000 sqm under roof. By collaborating with complementary rail services providers we are able to offer our clients the equivalent of a ‘one-stop-shop’.
