“As far as proving grounds, there are no better in the world than railroads. And Hannay Reels helps us get the job done there every day.” -Pete Ebert, Owner of TNT Repair

At any given moment, more than 1,000 trains are crossing the country, delivering essential cargo and taking passengers to countless destinations. The rail industry demands the highest level of service and maintenance to ensure everything gets to its destination on time—and without incident. Trains nationwide depend on TNT Repair, a truck shop outside of Albany, New York, for both preventative maintenance services and faulty equipment repairs. While the trains depend on TNT, TNT depends on Hannay reels for their strength, reliability and versatility.

TNT and Hannay Reels have a trusted partnership spanning more than 20 years, according to Pete Ebert, TNT’s owner. He relies on Hannay reps to recommend new features and reels to improve efficiency and productivity. To keep his operations from derailing, Ebert seeks out features like custom dimensions, greaseable pivots, sealed axle bearings, and advanced rewind features. TNT also takes advantage of Hannay’s part replacement, extending the life of the reel and saving him the cost of purchasing entirely new equipment. Ebert says the quality of Hannay parts and service is unmatched, keeping his operations running full steam ahead.
