TPS is, essentially, a sales company with an engineering background born into the big nuts and bolts of Caterpillar Tractor Company.

We have 3 agencies, all purpose built for Rail Maintenance. Richter & Muller has a pedigree stretching back 3 generations. It is not modified from civil engineering. Matthias Muller is the engineering genius behind it and Paul Muller is the business man.

The ideas are formulated and made into reality, and then...they are put to work in the Erich Muller (parent) company who are in the business of maintaining and renewing the German Railway system. Only until they are satisfied with the product and what it is doing for their own business, do Paul and Matthias release it to the open market.
TPS Ltd associates itself with this type of premier quality equipment. We just feel that quality is something that, even in these austere times, is an economical choice in the long term. Anything less is a false economy.

It is also a business choice; we enjoy our business and supplying good service. Being a small company we can respond, almost by return, to parts enquiries. Service call outs are the same, although this rarely ever happens. Warranty costs are in the pennies!
Having stood the test of time and come through, it is now time to move up a gear:

• The range of equipment is now being expanded from Richter & Muller who are introducing a number of new pieces.
• BSB with their large type road rail vactor wagons. Also, a version of the Tube Cube that needs no operator on the hose, everything is controlled from the machine cab.
• The Hydrema range of dumptrucks. (www.hydrema.com)

The costs of operating efficiency are driving it all as never before. Getting more work done for less. These are the maxims you will hear more and more of.

So here we are...Road rail attachments are a vital part the future of rail maintenance, and, bearing in mind the goal of a 7-day railway, midweek nights and weekend possessions, TPS is very well placed to serve that need.

Thank you for your time in reading this.
