ABOUT RMS RAIL
Who we are and where we came from
1971
From our humble beginnings as Axiom Plant Hire in 1971, our founder Peter Schembri began providing backhoes to replace sleepers for the Victorian railways. Peter had the foresight to see that the future of rail maintenance and construction was going to rely more and more on the use of heavy plant and machinery.
We changed our name to Rail Maintenance Services Pty Ltd (RMS) and further invested in new machines and specialised attachments. Mindful of the needs of our clients, our technical team scoured Australia and the world for the latest innovations in plant and equipment to provide our clients more efficient, cost and time saving solutions. This strategy continues today.
Our core business of “Plant Hire” is to provide hi-rail and non hi-rail plant and equipment with competent and experienced operators. RMS has grown into an interstate business with current works in Victoria, NSW, Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth servicing rail operators, tier one construction projects, civil and mining companies.
RMS is providing services in project site surveillance, operational management with approximately 100 dedicated staff and trained operators. RMS has a strong commitment to provide competent operators and is continuously investing in the development of our people. Our internal VoC (Verification of Competency) training program ensures that our operators have the necessary skills to perform a wide variety of tasks.
