Railway Wheelset & Brake Ltd work with Schmiedewerke Gröditz of Germany who have the facilities to manufacture any tyre, in any quantity.

Tyres can be obtained for a wide range of applications including: locomotives, passenger vehicles, light transit and tramways, heritage railways, and specialist vehicles.

As demand for tyres from the mainline railway declines due to the Monobloc Wheel configuration becoming the norm, it is critical to keep this supply chain open for the ever expanding heritage railway sector, where demand is increasing.

Standard lead times for tyre delivery from Germany is 10 weeks from date of order. For emergency orders we can arrange for rapid manufacture and deliver in as little as 8 weeks.
