Please allow us to introduce our "𝙈𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙈𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙝" : the 𝙂𝙚𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙧 𝙀𝘾𝙏𝙍 caterpillar gantry 🤖🏆.
This most versatile and powerful machine is compact enough to work in tunnels but strong enough to pull long welded rails (as seen at the end of this video).
The 𝙂𝙚𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙧 𝙀𝘾𝙏𝙍 can carry out a large number of different tasks "effortlessly" such as transporting up to 20 sleepers in one go, carrying up to 5 concrete slabs or laying pre-assembled track sections. 
The 𝙂𝙚𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙧 𝙀𝘾𝙏𝙍 is fitted with a laser positioning system for optimal precision when laying tracks or concrete slabs. 
The 𝙂𝙚𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙧 𝙀𝘾𝙏𝙍 is also remarkably safe and easy to operate thanks to its fully radio-controlled system with 6 on-board cameras (optional).

Track laying and track renewal lies at the heart of the 𝙂𝙚𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙧 𝙀𝙣𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙀𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙚  👷♂️🚊

The proven 𝙂𝙚𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙧 𝙋𝙀𝙈-𝙇𝙀𝙈 system is probably one of the most productive solutions in the world to lay large sections of pre-assembled tracks and turnouts safely and accurately.

This video – shot during the construction of a new segment of the French high-speed railway network - gives a short preview of the 𝙋𝙀𝙈-𝙇𝙀𝙈 capabilities. A few well-trained operators can carry out massive tasks safely and efficiently thanks to a cluster of 14 remote-controlled PEM-LEMs.

The most demanding railway engineering projects around the world rely on Geismar’s PEM-LEM system to build high-precision, quality infrastructures.

𝙂𝙚𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙧 has already built and delivered more than 500 PEMs and almost just as many LEMs around the world which is testament to the efficiency and reliability of these machines. 

As one of our flagship products, new PEM-LEMs are always coming out of our assembly lines and 𝙞𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙖𝙫𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 to meet your needs (subject to requested quantities).

Building (high-speed) railway networks means contributing directly to potential transport mode transfers from air to rail and thus to a significant reduction in CO2 emissions.
At 𝙂𝙚𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙧, we are proud to support the rail industry in its mission to build, renew and maintain ever more competitive railway networks that make it possible for millions of passengers to enjoy the freedom of travel while reducing their carbon footprint at the same time 🌱🌱🌱
We are even prouder to be one of the leading names in our business for electric, bi-mode and battery-powered solutions that improve the well-being of railway workers and reduce the overall CO2 emissions of our industry, thank to our 𝙂𝙚𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙧 𝘼𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙤𝙣 range of 100% electric machines.

A New Year is a new start, a new beginning, a new hope 👶 
A New Year is a new opportunity to change our habbits and improve our lives 🌄
A New Year is a good time to take a fresh look at the world around us and make choices that will transform our world for the better.

At Geismar, we are committed to taking a fresh look at the machines and equipment used to lay or to maintain railway networks. We strive to make them safer, cleaner and more efficient, to improve the working conditions of operators as well as the well-being of the general public and to preserve the environment while boosting productivity.

🏎 Blazing towards 2023 like a 𝙂𝙚𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙧 𝘼𝙞𝙧 𝙒𝙞𝙯𝙖𝙧𝙙 road-rail truck driving to repair overhead lines! 🏎
𝙂𝙚𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙧's Road-Rail vehicles have a secret super-power : they are (almost) just as fast on track as they are on the road. Our bi-mode hydrostatic trucks can reach speeds of up to 40 kph (25 mph) on rails as exemplified by this beautiful 𝘼𝙞𝙧 𝙒𝙞𝙯𝙖𝙧𝙙 OHL maintenance truck working for the Swiss railway network. 

To learn more about the RRV 𝙂𝙚𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙧 𝙒𝙞𝙯𝙖𝙧𝙙 range and see how they could boost the efficiency and productivity of your railway maintenance teams in 2023, just click on the link below :

Let there be light ! 🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯
December 21st is the shortest day of the year in the Northern hemisphere. Many cultures celebrate the Winter Solstice by lighting up candles to fight darkness, marking the date when the cycle is reversed and daylight starts expanding again 🌞🌞🌞

At 𝙂𝙚𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙧, we celebrate the Winter Solstice by lighting up a set of battery-powered 𝙉𝙤𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙖 projectors, from our 𝘼𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙤𝙣 range. 
𝙂𝙚𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙧 𝙉𝙤𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙖 is the perfect solution to keep working safely and comfortably throughout winter... and to work in tunnels or dark areas all year long!
 
 The 𝙉𝙤𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙖s' powerful 250 lux lamp is 5 times the average of a well-lit motorway (50 lux) or the same lighting level as an average apartment at night.
 Up to 5 Nocturna projectors can connect to 1 𝘼𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙤𝙣 battery - the same battery used to power 8 other machines in the 𝙂𝙚𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙧 𝘼𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙤𝙣 range - and will supply enough electricity for up to 6 hours on a full charge without the noise or harmful emissions associated with traditional power generators.
 𝙂𝙚𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙧 𝙉𝙤𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙖 projectors have been designed and built to meet the high standards and tough working conditions of the railway environment.

The leading French railway publication Btp Rail just released an in-depth interview of Geismar's Global Managing Director, Mrs. Alexandra Curiel.

The article is in French but translation softwares do miracles these days.
Many thanks to Groupe Cayola for this opportunity to discuss the future of the our industry and to Frédéric Burguière for the thought-provoking questions and refreshing interview style.

❄️⛄️ Not a big fan of freezing temperatures? ⛄️❄️ Most railway equipment aren't either! Starting combustion-engine machines can be a struggle during winter, not to mention fiddling with jerrycans, reservoirs and funnels when temperatures drop below 0°c.

Luckily, 𝙂𝙚𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙧's robust battery-powered 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙠 𝘼𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙤𝙣 rail saw thrives under a wide spectrum of temperatures. In fact, it can operate in ambiant temperatures of between -𝟐𝟎°𝐜 (-4°F) to +𝟒𝟎°𝐜 (104°F) and will start at the push of a button, litterally. The high capacity 𝘼𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙤𝙣 battery can either be worn as a back pack (as demonstrated in this video) or simply laid on the ground near the operator.

This particular video was shot in Tampere, Finland on the 14th of December 2022 during a demo carried out by our skilled and trusted agents from Scantruck AB for Destia Rail Oy and NRC Rail Oy. The temperature was -15°c (5°F) but the 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙠 𝘼𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙤𝙣 started immediately and made little work of the rail it had to cut! 
And the best part of this story : no exhaust fumes and a much lower impact on the environment! 🔋 ⚡️ 🌳

🐝🐝🐝 Aren't they cute these "little" remote-controlled LEMs from 𝙂𝙚𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙧 working as a team to lay tracks and turnouts in Narbonne, South of France? 🐝🐝🐝

The LEMs and their "partners in crime" the PEMs are 2 inseparable machines that make up the acclaimed 𝙂𝙚𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙧 𝙋𝙀𝙈-𝙇𝙀𝙈 system. 
Up to 16 PEM-LEMs can work together and simultaneously to lay large turnouts or pre-assembled track sections, boosting quality, safety and productivity.
Many thanks to Philippe Sc for this very cool video of the LEMs in action.
