First Brandt R4 Power Units and OTM Trackers Delivery to Union Pacific
April 23, 2013
Brandt Road Rail Corporation is pleased to announce the first R4 Power Unit and OTM Tracker deliveries to Union Pacific Railroad. Headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, Union Pacific is North America's premier railroad franchise, covering 23 states across the western two-thirds of the United States.
Union Pacific has integrated the Brandt Power Unit and OTM Tracker System into the most efficient material handling system in the industry. Using the OTM Tracker System combined with the R4 Power Unit with its parallel lift deck and specialized trailer results in mobile productivity and safety. This allows Union Pacific to distribute their ties across their entire system and also to distribute their OTM material in front of and behind their rail gangs since 2005. The production levels have been very successful and the mobility of these units is the fastest way to get their job completed safely and efficiently.
Steven Linzmayer, Territory Manager of Brandt Road Rail Corporation states, “It's exciting to see the first deliveries of the new R4 Power Unit combined with the OTM Tracker System to Union Pacific. Brandt Road Rail Corporation and Union Pacific have succeeded together to make this the most productive and economical means of distributing railway ties in the industry. It gives me great pleasure to see how happy the operators and management are when they first sit in the new R4 Power Unit and comment on its improved comfort and the ease of operating with the new Brandt Control System. With the focus on improving the serviceability and maintenance of these R4 Power Units, the production of this newly designed system is going to be very rewarding for Union Pacific.”
