LORAM PTY LTD.
Three of F.S. Mannix’s great-great-grandsons cut the ribbon as Loram re-established an Australian head office in Bris-
bane in late 2018, in what was then only one room. The transformational completion of the acquisition of Aurizon’s
rail grinding business on 1 November 2019 united the Australian fleet of Loram rail grinders and combined the strong-
est and most experienced rail grinding team in Australia. Loram has since been delivering contract service rail mainte-
nance across all mainland Australian states to demanding Customers including Aurizon, ARTC, BHP, FMGL, and QR,
and has since added MTM to this roster. Two additional 24-stone specialty rail grinders, RGS19 and RGS20, are joining
the Australian fleet in mid-September 2021 for service on FMGL and BHP.
Today, in addition to world leading production and specialty rail grinding services, Loram’s rail maintenance solutions
include ballast maintenance, friction management, material handling, and track inspection and optimization technologies.
Like the record setting track laying crews on the Hamersley and Mt. Newman, the Outfit’s strong teams and innovative
equipment again make Loram a leader at the dawn of its next 60 years serving the Australian railway industry.
