HOKURIKU HEAVY INDUSTRIES,LTD

From 5 tons to as large as 80 tons

Our core products also include the rescue train which runs the main line, and iron mill-oriented telecon-controlled locomotives. <<Movie>>

Our core products include vehicles indispensable for the maintenance of railway, such as the track motor car, the catenary maintenance vehicle and the tamper vehicle, and the rail carrier.

A parallel hybrid was developed for the maintenance vehicle. Deadhead transfer is quick with an engine, and night work is noise-less with a motor. Even in case of engine shutdown, you can use the motor to evacuate.

The vehicle plays a leading role in sightseeing and theme parks at Usuitouge (Usui Pass) Railway Cultural Village, Akasawa Forestry Railroad, Minamiaso Railway and so on where it nurtures children's dreams and carves a mark in the memory of adults. <<Movie>>
