Atlantic Track

What Atlantic Track does

Atlantic Track is a U.S.-based, employee-owned manufacturer and distributor of specialty trackwork, transit components and crane runway systems, founded in 1965 and headquartered in Bloomfield, New Jersey. The company operates three product divisions — Railroad Products (specialty trackwork including turnouts, frogs, switch points, guard rails, ties, tie plates and rail, available new, used or reconditioned), Transit Systems (third rail, coverboard, insulators, bi-metallic contact rail, fasteners, expansion joints and turnouts for U.S. and Canadian transit authorities), and Crane Runway Systems (rail profiles, crane rail clips, rail pads, spherical bearing tie-backs, hydraulic buffers and custom fabricated items). The company self-describes as the largest and most diversified manufacturer and installer of high-quality crane runway components and claims pioneering soft-mounted crane rail systems; its patent-pending X-Series clips deliver up to 300 kN lateral capacity and the ATTrackShield nano-coating extends the service life of porcelain insulators.

The company runs seven manufacturing and distribution facilities in the U.S. (Georgia, Illinois x2, Pennsylvania x2, Tennessee) plus a manufacturing site in Elche, Spain and a UK engineering office in Gloucester, supported by sales offices in New Jersey, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Illinois. Operations are differentiated by in-house engineering design, mobile flash welding services delivered through wholly-owned subsidiary Atlantic Track Runway Services (ATRS), and a stack of certifications including AAR, ISO, OSHA and AIST. Distribution is direct-sales led domestically and channel-led internationally via named agents and distributors in Scandinavia (Nord Tech–Vetec AS), Central Europe (Heinrich Krug), Iberia (Kettel) and Egypt (Kabadaya).

Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales across the three product divisions, with a secondary services revenue stream from ATRS covering surveying, inspections, engineering, installation, flash welding and preventative maintenance. The business is wholly owned by employees through an ESOP, and pricing is not publicly disclosed — sales are conducted via direct contact with regional offices. Customer segments span freight and Class I railroads, U.S. and Canadian transit authorities, industrial crane operators (including steel and aluminum mills) and international projects, although specific end-customer logos are not disclosed in the source material.

• Transit Systems Third rail and transit trackwork products serving transits throughout the U.S. and Canada, including bi-metallic contact rail, coverboard, porcelain and fiberglass insulators, fasteners, expansion joints, bridge joints, restraining rail assemblies, turnouts, and curved rail.
• Crane Runway Systems Comprehensive crane runway components and systems including rail profiles, crane rail clips (friction fit, X-Series, R-Series), rail pads (FD and F7), spherical bearing tie-backs, hydraulic crane buffers, rubber trench infill, epoxy and cementitious grout, and special fabricated items. Pioneers soft-mounted crane rail systems.
• Crane Rail Clips (X-Series and R-Series) Friction fit clips and adjustable clips for precise rail alignment that carry high crane forces. Includes patent-pending X-Series (X1-12, X1-16, X2-16, X2-20 with 65–300 kN lateral capacity) for heavy industries and patent-pending R-Series for light-duty applications (21–140 kN).
• FD and F7 Rail Pads Rail pads that reduce overall shock and vibration in crane rail systems while allowing rails to rotate, eliminating metal-to-metal contact and reducing wear and corrosion. FD pad for discontinuous rail support; F7 pad for continuous rail support.
• Hydraulic Crane Buffers Hydraulic buffers that absorb energy of overhead bridge cranes, gantry cranes, STS cranes, AS/RS cranes, and rail-mounted equipment, allowing controlled deceleration and stopping. OSHA compliant as standard and AIST compliant for 100% full-speed impact conditions in steel and aluminum mills.
• ATTrackShield Nano-Coating Nano-coating applied to porcelain insulators to add valuable years of service and lower maintenance costs for transit systems.
• Special Fabricated Items Custom fabricated products including anchor clips, boom hinge rails for STS cranes, crane rail expansion joints, transition rails, curved track systems, end stops, hydraulic buffers, and special crane rail frogs and switches for unique project requirements.
• Flash Welding Services Mobile flash-welding units providing an automated computerized process for maintenance-of-way (MOW) railroad rail welding, crane rail welding, and overhead and ground crane runway welding, available as on-site service.
