Equipment & Operator Services
Hi-rail vehicles, boom trucks, floats and Mark IV operators and trainers, with the crew to run them.
CUNA puts machines and qualified people on the railway: hi-rail vehicles with operators, boom trucks, float trucks, material trailers, and Mark IV operators and trainers.
This is not a bare equipment-rental catalogue. The offer is the machine with railroaders who can use it on track.
Scope
- Hi-rail vehicles with operators
- Boom trucks
- Float trucks
- Material trailers
- Mark IV operators and trainers
How we work
Define the machine and the people
What has to be done on the rail, and which qualifications the host railway requires.
Dispatch
Equipment and operators, including A-Z licensed drivers where the highway move requires it.
Work under protection
CROR-qualified people on the host railway’s terms.
Qualifications
- A-Z licensed operators
Material moves and boom/float work on public roads require licensed operators, not just people who can run a machine on track.
- CROR
Host railways expect CROR-qualified people for flagging, protection and work in the operating environment.
- eRailSafe
Without a current eRailSafe credential, crews cannot access many CN and other host-railway sites.
- ISN
Procurement teams use ISNetworld scores to decide who is allowed on site.

Questions
Can we rent a hi-rail truck without a CUNA operator?
The current public description is hi-rail vehicles accompanied by a crew of operators. Dry rental should be confirmed before it is offered on the site.
Do you own a Mark IV, or supply operators?
CUNA lists Mark IV operators and trainers. Ownership of a Mark IV is not confirmed.
