US Axle Corp. is an AAR M-1003 Certified facility serving the Rail Industry. We are a status code 3a shop focusing on reclamation of undersize journals on all classes of railroad axles. We have been plating axles for 15 years which means we have the experience where it counts, and we have the records to prove it. Our facility is centrally located in Kansas City, Missouri. This gives our customers a balance in shipping costs no matter where the product needs to be delivered. Plating shops come and go, US Axle is here to continue serving your needs as long as there are still rails.

Rail industry consulting firm Zeta-Tech asserts that heavier per-car loading is key to the future productivity of America's (and indeed the worlds) railroads. This was the focus of a presentation delivered at the World Bank in 2006. The higher per-car loading means higher per-axle loads overall, and this translates directly to the need for greater quality standards applied to processes performed on such equipment. 
US Axle is prepared for the future.... |

When arranging a shipment of axles or wheel sets to be plated, it is prudent to give that load one last look to ensure you are not shipping scrap items by mistake. The shipment of items that must be scrapped is a small problem that is growing with the rising cost of cross country transportation. It is not rare for our inspectors to find one or two items per load that are obviously scrap. While this remains a small percentage in the overall shipment, it is a percentage that doesn't need to exist at all. |
