Buy used machine tools for the railway industry

Machine tools are the backbone of the railway industry when it comes to the manufacture, maintenance and repair of rail vehicles and track systems. At railauction.plus, you can buy high-quality used machine tools and benefit from numerous advantages. Used machines are a cost-effective solution that still offer high quality and precision. Whether retrofit machine tools or specialised machines for track construction - used equipment helps you to implement projects efficiently and reduce costs.

From lathes and milling machines to welding technology, you will regularly find everything you need for smooth operation. Our platform offers you machines from leading manufacturers at fair prices - ready for immediate use.

Variety of machine tools and their areas of application

  • Lathes and wheelset machining
    Lathes are indispensable in the railway industry when it comes to the precise machining of wheelsets and axles. Whether you are looking for a used CNC lathe or a high-quality Geminis lathe for demanding tasks - check back regularly. You can also buy used lathes from us for smaller projects. Specialised wheelset lathes and underfloor wheelset lathes ensure precise profiling of wheelsets. Keep an eye out for the best offers.
  • Milling machines
    Milling machines are the ideal solution for the production and maintenance of components. Gantry milling machines and wheelset machining centres offer the necessary precision and performance, especially for large and complex jobs. The high-quality Zayer machines are known for their reliability and innovation. Used machines are ideal for acquiring outstanding quality at fair prices.
  • Rail and track construction machines
    Specialised machines are used for the maintenance and installation of tracks. Here you will find powerful rail grinding machines and rail milling machines that remove cracks and unevenness from rail surfaces. A reliable rail drilling machine enables precise drilling, while a switch broom makes rail cleaning easier. Products such as the screw machine for track construction and the screw plough are indispensable for track construction projects. Rail lifters, rail transfer devices and track trolleys are also essential. Take a look at the track construction technology and machinery category, especially for larger machines.
  • Welding machines and presses
    Joining components is one of the most important tasks in the railway industry. Welding machines and mobile welding systems play a decisive role here. Processes such as thermite welding and electric arc welding offer reliable solutions for wheelset and rail processing. Wheelset welding machines facilitate the assembly of wheelsets. For pressing wheel tyres and axles, you can rely on hydraulic presses and high-performance wheel presses that ensure efficient results.
  • Testing and measurement technology
    The right testing technology is essential to ensure the safety of railway vehicles and track systems. High-quality testing machines help you to check components for defects and conformity to standards. State-of-the-art ultrasonic testing devices and eddy current testing systems enable precise fault analyses. Geometry measuring devices are available for precise measurements, offering maximum accuracy and ensuring the quality standard of your projects.
  • Special tools and maintenance machines
    In addition to large machines, special tools and mobile solutions play an important role in maintenance. Track flywheels, contour grinding machines and robust cold shot chisels, for example, play an important role here. Anyone wishing to equip themselves for track construction will benefit from track construction tools such as an axe or products such as the ballast fork. You will also find mobile solutions such as mobile maintenance machines, wheelset changing systems and lifting systems that make on-site work efficient.
