Crane and Tanker Vehicles in Action

Who We Are?

A road-rail vehicle (“RRV”) is a vehicle which can operate both on rail tracks and a conventional road. These are vehicles used by network operators to maintain their rail infrastructure.

The RailPro group is comprised of experienced engineers who hold the exclusive licence in South Africa to state-of-the-art DSDS™ technology. Railpro have fully equipped workshops, and build the DSDS conversion package onto standard road vehicles to allow them to run on rail.

RailPro’s DSDS™ allows “on-rail” performance specifications and capabilities similar to “on-road” specifications.

The company is based in Johannesburg, South Africa.
