Hi-Rail Gear Training for On-Site Safety Inspections

We provide specialized hi-rail gear inspection training that certifies your personnel to perform on-site safety inspections in compliance with FRA regulations. Designed for companies that maintain their own hi-rail equipment, our hands-on training ensures your team can safely inspect, operate, and maintain roadway maintenance machines (RMMs) and hi-rail vehicles in the field.

This course is best designed for experienced operators and mechanics who are interested in becoming the on-site inspectors for their company.

This course is designed to cover the Federal Railroad Administration 49 CFR 214 standards with regards as to how they should be used during inspections and creating reports detailing any deficiencies and recommendations.
