Enhance Efficiency

Cross’s in-house engineers know the latest technology and can work with your team to recommend the right equipment and design for your particular machine. We can even take on complete overhaul projects if your team is swamped.

Increase Uptime And Reduce Downtime

Rail equipment needs to be out working, not being repaired in the shop. Or worse, breaking down thousands of miles from home. Use high quality components and hoses from Cross Company and make sure your designs are created for maximum uptime.

Reduce Risk

Reduce the risk of a breakdown by reducing the number of components. The engineers at Cross Company can work with you to make sure your machine is using an efficient design, reducing your plumbing and wiring to lower the chance of failure.
