About Unilok

Unilokomotive Limited manufactures the Unilok road / rail wagon mover or shunting locomotive used for moving railway wagons, carriages or locomotives. Uniloks are not truck conversions, but purpose built rail yard workhorses that travel as easily on road as on rail. Uniloks carry out shunting tasks that locomotives 4 to 5 times there weight would do, but with greater mobility and at a fraction of the cost.

Unilokomotive Ltd. developed its first road / rail wagon mover over 55 years ago. Since our beginning, we have been designing and building Rail Shunters that are probably one of the most efficient, versatile, cost-effective machines on the market. Today, there are over 2000 Uniloks in over 60 countries, from port terminals in the Russian Artic, to cement plants in the Malaysian tropics, to train and carriage repair facilities in the UK.

Uniloks can move loads of up to 2000 tonnes across a full range of operational speeds with standard design features like:

  • High traction poly-steel rail wheels
  • Hydrostatic all- wheel rail drive.
  • Tracktronic inching control.
  • Hydraulic turntable to turn through 360 degrees on or off the rail
  • Weight transfer and equalising coupler (E125s, E-125 and D-125 models).
  • Remote control
  • Economy of operating cost
  • Ease of operation
  • Long dependable service life

The result is a solid product, requiring minimal maintenance with significantly lower operational and capital costs; just what you would expect from a company with one of the longest histories in road / rail shunting.
