Upfitting Services

Upfitting Services Built for Railroad Work

When your crews are working in ballast, weather, and tight track windows, equipment can’t be “pretty good.” It has to be rail-ready, field-friendly, and built to last. OnTrak delivers custom upfitting for trucks, cranes, and specialty equipment designed for real-world railroad demands, backed by 75+ years of railroad experience and an in-house fabrication and machine shop.

What We Upfit

We build and integrate solutions that support maintenance-of-way, construction, bridge, and track services. Common upfits include:

  • Hi-rail (road/rail) truck upfitting
  • Rail-capable crane and boom truck builds
  • Service bodies, tool storage, and work-ready layouts
  • Lighting packages for night and low-visibility work
  • Custom mounting, reinforcements, and fabricated components
  • Safety-focused access (steps, platforms, grab points)
  • Job-specific modifications for your crews and scopes

Custom Hi-Rail Upfitting That Works Where It Counts

Hi-rail builds succeed or fail in the details: usability, durability, serviceability, and how smoothly everything integrates under pressure.

We focus on:

  • Fit-for-purpose layouts (tools, parts, hoses, controls, access points)
  • Clean integration (so systems don’t fight each other in the field)
  • Serviceability (because downtime is expensive)
  • Rail-proven durability (because railroad work is not gentle)

If you’re tired of “almost right,” let’s make it right the first time.

In-House Fabrication + Rail Experience = Better Builds

Upfitting isn’t just bolting on components, it’s engineering the whole working system. With an in-house machine and custom fabrication shop, we can:

  • Prototype and fabricate custom parts quickly
  • Reinforce and modify structures correctly
  • Solve odd-fit problems without waiting on third parties
  • Maintain consistent quality from start to finish

Want to sell or lease upfitted units? We can help you spec builds that are consistent, repeatable, and easier to support long-term.
