Crop & Weld

Cropping and Welding is a high production, money-saving, flash-butt welding method for converting bolted rails to continuous welded rail.  Using Holland's MobileWelder®, cropping and welding, cutting, and sliding joint-fish plate elimination can be achieved in existing track.  With the world's most advanced technology in rail welding, electric flash-butt welding, we offer the best service to accomplish your Crop & Weld goals.

• Double handling of the rail is eliminated which includes transporting to and from a welding factory.

• Proves to be a money-saving work method by using existing serviceable rails rather than purchasing new rails for existing track.

• Less maintenance is required on the rail infrastructure and freight wagons once the rail is converted to CWR.
