UK train toilet transportation issues solved

API Technologies and Tek Tanks have designed a cleaver and cost-effective transport solution for onboard train toilets. 

Addressing a critical need in rail maintenance. API Technologies, a leading engineering solution provider to UK industry, partnered with plastic fabrication specialist Tek Tanks Limited to ensure the safe transportation of toilets for deep cleaning and servicing cycles. 

Previously, the transport of the train toilets left exposed valves and electronic components vulnerable to damage.

This collaboration resulted in a custom-designed plastic support frame that securely holds the toilet bowls while safeguarding sensitive parts. This innovative design effectively protects vital components during transit, extending the lifespan of the toilets and the tote transport containers. 

Additionally, the team modified the tote box lids to accommodate the height of the toilets which in turn provided the assembly with additional strength.
