RAIL AND TANK CAR LIFTING SERVICES

When derailments involve tank cars, precision and control are critical. Hulcher Services’ patented Tank Car Lifting Device (TCLD) was engineered specifically to enhance safety, stability, and efficiency during complex lifting and rerailing operations. This innovative system allows crews to lift damaged or compromised tank cars with greater balance and control than traditional rigging methods, helping reduce stress on the tank shell and minimize risk during recovery.


Safety drives every aspect of our lifting operations. The Tank Car Lifting Device is deployed only after thorough site assessments, engineered lift planning, and detailed job safety briefings. Weight distribution calculations, equipment inspections, and continuous monitoring ensure each lift is executed with discipline and care. By combining purpose-built equipment with strict safety protocols, Hulcher helps protect personnel, infrastructure, surrounding communities, and the environment.


Our people make the difference. Hulcher team members complete rigorous hands-on training in lift planning, equipment operation, hazard recognition, and coordinated communication procedures. This commitment to ongoing education ensures our crews remain prepared to manage high-risk situations with professionalism and confidence.


Efficiency is equally important. The TCLD streamlines setup and lifting processes, allowing crews to stabilize and rerail tank cars more quickly while maintaining strict safety standards. Faster, controlled recoveries help railroads minimize downtime and restore service with confidence.


Through patented innovation, comprehensive training, and a strong culture of safety and professionalism, Hulcher Services delivers dependable tank car lifting solutions that keep rail operations moving safely and efficiently.
