Rolling stock components, welded under EN 15085
Supplied to Indian Railways, and to BEML and ISGEC among others. Brake reservoirs, frame assemblies and the pneumatic equipment that hangs under a coach, built to drawing and welded under the accreditation that railway work requires.
WHAT WE BUILD FOR RAILWAYS
- Air-brake reservoirs, stainless and coated, in the capacities a brake system asks for
- Axle-mounted disc brake frame assemblies, complete with manifold and pneumatic circuit
- Welded underframe and equipment-mounting frames, guarded, with lifting provision
- Silica gel air dryers for compressed-air braking systems
- Air suspension tanks and complete suspension assemblies for rail vehicles
- Test benches built to the test specification the component has to pass
- Bespoke welded assemblies developed from a drawing, or from the problem
WHY THE ACCREDITATION MATTERS HERE
Sakshi Tools is an approved source for Integral Coach Factory and Diesel Locomotive Works — two of Indian Railways' own production units, the second of which is now Banaras Locomotive Works. Vendor approval at a production unit is a different thing from having sold to the railway once: the works is assessed and listed before an order can be placed at all, which is why it tends to be the first question another railway buyer asks.
Rolling-stock welding is safety-critical, so the standard audits the manufacturer: welding coordination, qualified procedures, qualified welders, and records that survive the job. Very few Indian shops hold it.
Fusion welding quality across everything we weld, railway or not, so the same discipline applies to an industrial reservoir as to a brake assembly.
Visual on every weld, dimensional against your drawing, leak and pressure testing on vessels, and the documentation pack out with the goods.
Frequently asked
- Do you supply Indian Railways directly?
- Indian Railways is among the customers this works supplies, along with BEML, ISGEC, Sona Comstar, SMC, Rico, Midlands and CRG Industries.
- Are you an approved railway vendor?
- Sakshi Tools is an approved source for Integral Coach Factory and Diesel Locomotive Works, two of Indian Railways' own production units. Approval means the works was assessed and listed before any order could be placed, which is not the same as having supplied the railway once.
- Can you build to our drawing?
- Most of what leaves this plant was designed for one customer and exists nowhere else. Send a drawing, a specification, or just the problem.
- What do we need to send for a quotation?
- Capacity and working pressure, material and finish, quantity and whether it repeats, the standards it must satisfy and who inspects, how it mounts and gets handled, and when you need the first piece.
- Do you handle retrofit work on existing stock?
- Yes. Send the existing assembly, a photograph or the old part itself if no drawing exists, and we will work back from it.
Sakshi Tools is certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001, ISO 3834 and EN 15085. Current certificates are sent with the quotation, or on request for your vendor file.
