Wagon maintenance

Preventive and corrective wheel maintenance = higher profitability

An interrupted shipment costs time, money and reputation for everyone involved, including customers, suppliers and carriers. As a result, preventive wagon maintenance and corrective repairs are vital. Our well-equipped workshops have the machinery and knowledge to quickly deliver service and ensure traffic safety, thus bringing our customers' wagons back in service with the least possible downtime.

Locomotive maintenance

Careful and planned maintenance of the set's tractors guarantees business

The profitability aspect of shorter downtimes and maximum uptime applies not least to locomotives. Located in Ånge, in the center of Sweden, our facilities are 400 track meters in heated workshop premises directly adjacent to generous track space for parking. The lifting capacity of the workshop is an impressive 140 tons. Here we carry out remedial and planned maintenance, repairs and servicing of locomotives, ranging from simple additions and overhauls to comprehensive audits such as Ö4 and R2.

Here we also develop new customized solutions together with clients to increase the flexibility and performance of locomotives so that they can, for example, be quickly converted for alternative types of transport.  

Wheel maintenance

Turning, bearing box maintenance and re-wheeling extend wagon lifespan‍

These are key parts of our business and critical for literally keeping traffic rolling. Every year, over 10,000 wheel pairs pass through our workshops. With cutting-edge technology (for example, we have some of Sweden’s only wheel-turning machines), we provide services such as turning, scheduled preventive maintenance of bearing boxes and re-wheeling. Thorough maintenance is the key to cutting operating costs and extending the wagon’s lifespan.

Mobile workshops

Time is money – rapid response and maximum mobility reduce downtime

We prioritised this segment in recent years and now offer around 40 mobile units. All SweMaint locations have mobile workshops that can spring to action and repair damage on site – usually on the rails. This service is well-established and covers almost all of Sweden. Our service cars have equipment for every conceivable scenario. The mobile workshops are a key part of our efforts to minimise downtime and thus improve the conditions for and competitiveness of rail freight in comparison to other modes of transport.

Wheel supply

National replacement system and railside assistance secure long-haul business

We are the biggest in Sweden when it comes to wheels, and customers who sign a wheel supply agreement with us gain access to a rationalised national replacement system. We keep the most common types of wheels in stock at over 30 locations across Sweden. The supply agreement also includes access to our mobile units – in other words, fast, efficient and nearby service wherever your wheels need to be changed in Sweden.

Our wheel pool has 28,000 wheel pairs, of which 3,000 comprise our cycle stock. Our spare wheel pairs are kept in stock in every workshop, ensuring our customers always have access to wheel pairs wherever their wheels need to be changed. All pairs are individually labelled and entered in a database that makes them easy to track.

Material supply

Spare parts and replacement components in stock when you need them

Given that we are a full-service company, we also offer our customers material supply services. Our stocks are extensive, and we also sell spare parts and replacement components for most types of freight wagons.

Salvage and clearance

24/7 availability gets tracks cleared and wagons back in service quickly

Our goal is to keep freight wagons rolling 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Unfortunately, it's impossible to foresee all the damage and incidents that may occur. Therefore, we also offer a salvage and clearance service that is open 24 hours a day to minimise delays. The service involves removing freight and passenger wagons that are out of order for any reason.

Technical support

We keep you on track both in Sweden and internationally

We are well versed in all types of freight wagons rolling on Europe's rails. We are also knowledgeable about both national and international requirements for maintenance and traffic safety along with requirements for activities such as conversion. Decades of developing our machinery, working methods and human resources have given us experience that we are happy to share. Training and expert advice are thus natural parts of our complete customer offering.

Wagon conversion and customisation

Match your wagon to the market – earn more money‍

Customisation and conversion of existing wagons can sometimes be a smart solution for further increasing efficiency, improving transport economics, and by extension, competitiveness. We customise all types of freight wagons according to the customer’s needs, both internally and externally. This can include everything from more extensive alterations to minor modifications of parts. Some examples include integrating loading equipment, conversion to container wagons, reclassification, and restoration of wagons to original classification.
