Building and upgrading rail equipment is a huge investment in terms of time and resources. These machines don’t come out of the field very often, so they need to have high quality, long lasting parts, combined with intelligent design and engineering. Cross Company can provide motors, hydraulic valves, pumps, hoses and fittings to keep your machinery running as expected. Our engineering services compliment your in-house capabilities and ensure you are building the most efficient and rugged machine on the market.
