AUSTRALIA

Lovells Springs have made springs for the Railways of Australia for over 70 years. Current examples of our projects include:

Queensland Rail 3700 and 3800 Class Locomotives- EDI Rail

Queensland Rail had a specific requirement to increase the capacity of their locomotive power in narrow gauge haulage of coal from the Bowen Basin. With EDI Rail as the main contractor, Lovells Springs is supplying the suspension requirements for these powerful locomotives which will do many years of hard haulage work.

Lovells Springs has been associated with QR and EDI for 50 years.
