UK's Leading Twin Track Meat Rail System Supplier
As a leading supplier of meat rail systems in the UK & Ireland, we deliver proficient meat hanging rail design and installation services tailored to the meat industry. We understand the critical role of a robust and efficient meat transportation system in your operations and provide custom solutions to cater to your unique needs. Our team of experts leverages their deep industry knowledge to design rail systems that optimise workflow, maximise space utilisation, and uphold the highest standards of hygiene and safety.
Our systems are installed in red meat, pork, lamb and game processing facilities throughout the UK. Whether you are expanding capacity, replacing ageing infrastructure or building a new processing plant, we design rail layouts that optimise workflow and maximise available space.
All systems are engineered to withstand demanding wash down environments and heavy carcass loads while maintaining full compliance with UK hygiene and safety standards.
Every rail installation is carefully assessed to ensure structural integrity, safe load distribution and long-term reliability. We consider:
• Ceiling heights and building structure
• Existing steelwork and support capacity
• Chiller configuration
• Carcass throughput volumes
• Future expansion potential
This design-led approach reduces operational bottlenecks and ensures the system continues to perform as production demands increase.
Meat Hanging Rail Systems
In anticipation of your business’s growth, our meat rail design and installation services are built to be scalable and future-proof. As your operations grow, the demand for an efficient meat rail system will similarly expand. We stand ready to adapt and enhance your system in alignment with your business’s growth, ensuring you are always prepared to handle increasing demands. With our proactive approach, you can avoid expensive and disruptive overhauls or replacements of your rail systems in the future.
Our hanging rail systems are commonly specified for:
• Primary slaughter lines
• Chilled carcass storage
• Boning halls
• Loading bays
• Game handling facilities
We supply a full range of compatible components including rollers, hooks, gambrels, switches, bends and loading arms to ensure smooth carcass movement across all processing areas.
Each system is configured to balance durability with ease of cleaning, helping maintain high hygiene standards while reducing maintenance downtime.
Meat Rail System Design
Our commitment to your business extends beyond the initial design and installation. We provide ongoing support to ensure your meat rail system continues to function at its optimum capacity. Our dedicated team is always prepared to troubleshoot any issues, offer maintenance advice, and conduct regular checks for preventative care. By choosing us as your meat rail system supplier, you are investing in a partner committed to preserving the efficiency, safety, and productivity of your meat factory operations.
Design is critical to achieving efficient carcass flow. Poorly planned layouts can restrict movement, create congestion points and limit throughput capacity.
Our process includes:
• Review of architectural drawings or site survey
• Production of scaled technical layout drawings
• Load rating calculations
• Integration planning with refrigeration and building services
• Installation sequencing planning
Where required, independent structural engineer verification can be arranged to ensure compliance with building and safety regulations.
