Overview of Capabilities

LKE UK Ltd offers a full suite of material movement and storage equipment, making it well-suited to rail asset management, station logistics, and depot operations. Our product portfolio includes:

Trolleys (manual and tow-train compatible) and transport carts for moving equipment and supplies.
Cages, roll containers, and stillages for secure storage and transportation of components, tools, and parts.
Plastic containers, bins and stacking trays for smaller parts logistics and internal supply chains.
Bespoke and custom-configured solutions designed to meet specific load, dimensional or environmental requirements.
Tow-train systems and automation-ready products that integrate with logistics flow, including Automated Mobile Robot (AMR) compatibility.

Our engineering expertise and manufacturing experience enable us to adapt our standard products or develop bespoke solutions to meet the specific demands of rail depots, stations, onboard logistics, and maintenance facilities.

Rail Sector Relevance

In the railway environment, efficient movement of goods, maintenance equipment and parts is crucial. Our solutions are aligned with these needs and offer the following:

Heavy-duty trolleys and transport carts capable of navigating depot floors and station platforms.
Secure roll containers and stillages for managing components used in track works, signalling, rolling stock maintenance, and spare parts inventory.
Automation-compatible systems enabling tow-train or AMR interaction, supporting modern logistics workflows in rail workshops.
Custom designs that address constrained spaces, such as station platforms, underground loading bays, or onboard storage carts, where conventional solutions may not be suitable.

One featured example from LKE itself is a bespoke handling equipment project for rail-catering operations at King’s Cross Station, where the company supplied a high-capacity cart trailer designed to efficiently and safely move trolleys from a sub-platform store into trains. The outcome is improved throughput and sustained safety improvement using enclosed designs that have replaced an open-frame system.

Typical Applications in the Rail Industry

We have a wide range of rail material handling and logistics options that can be used in different applications, including:

Depot and workshop material-handling: movement of tools, parts and assemblies between storage, inspection and repair zones.
Station logistics support: handling of service carts, catering trolleys, cleaning equipment, baggage or freight items on platforms or behind the scenes.
Onboard logistics: specialist trolleys or containers designed for train-car or service-cart use.
Rail projects and worksites: supply chain solutions for track renewals, signalling maintenance, where movement of parts and storage are required in tight, time-sensitive environments.
Automated or semi-automated logistics flows: deployments where trolleys or containers interface with AGVs, AMRs or tug-train systems to move goods across maintenance, assembly or service operations.
