Transit Systems Incorporated was founded in 1986. Since
inception, our corporate focus has maintained a certain duality, Quality and
Diversification. Quality means more to us than just manufacturing a part to
specifications. Quality is interwoven through all aspects of our operations. It
includes being a responsive and responsible corporation, delivering materials on
time and utilizing the latest manufacturing techniques to provide the best
product available. Our desire to stay on the leading edge of technology will
enhance our corporate focus and afford us the opportunity to meet the challenges
that lie ahead.
Our diversification program encompasses all facets of our marketing strategy. We
have a diverse product line, manufacturing capacity and customer base. This
diversity has helped to keep us strong in the volatile marketplace. We have
worked on several overhaul projects in addition to our replacement part
business. The overhaul consists of manufacturing new parts or assemblies for a
fleet of commuter cars. Some of these projects are as follows:
We overhauled the Long Island Rail Road’s M-1 and M-3 fleet of air
conditioner and vapor control group covers. The LIRR design was for a
fiberglass cover having a variety of mechanical and electrical
properties. We also fabricated 650 vestibule ceiling assemblies.
The project consisted of eight different aluminum extrusions with
fiberglass light panels.
We have completed several large contracts for Massachusetts Bay Transportation
Authority. TSI manufactured plymetal flooring for the Blue Line. We also
fabricated door sets for the Trackless Trolley cars and exterior fiberglass
panels for the Green Line.
On New
Jersey Transits’ Arrow 3 Fleet, we overhauled the air conditioner
covers. TSI fabricated and installed handicap access ramps pursuant to
the ADA of 1990. The installation included mounting ramp boxes on the
station platforms along the Northeast Corridor from Newark to Trenton.
We have fabricated this product for both New Jersey Transit and Amtrak.
Our regular replacement part business covers a broad spectrum. Some of the parts
are station maintenance parts as with New York City Transit Authority. These
parts include fiberglass sand boxes that are either one or one half cubic yard
containers which are located on the station platforms. TSI also fabricates a
series of fiberglass products that prevents sediment from dripping on the cars
as they travel through the subway tunnels.
The bulk of our replacement part business are components for commuter cars,
light rail vehicles, subways and buses. A sampling of the parts that TSI
manufactures for Metro North Commuter Railroad include propulsion group covers,
specialty high strength bolts, such as the vertical suspension bolt and bolster
bar, flexible and stainless steel ducts, coupler adapters, uncoupling wrenches,
sleeves, brackets, washers, shims, traction motor covers and motor brackets.
LIRR and NJ Transit use many of the same parts as well as aluminum control box
covers, circuit breaker covers, stainless steel battery box covers, battery box
trays, bus bars, ground cables and shunts to name a few.
We have over 20 different extrusions that are used in various places on the
Volvo, Eagle, Flexible and RTS Buses. Most of these extrusions are widow frames
and locks. Others are used on the door openings or to hold the side panels and
skirts in place. TSI manufactures tail light assemblies, corner panels and a
variety of other items.
Transit Systems Incorporated also engages in contracts outside of the
mass transit industry. Our broad manufacturing capacity easily lends
itself to commercial work. The products mentioned above represent a
small portion of our diversified product line. We have the capacity to
fabricate small or large runs of custom or standard parts. Please give
us a call and let our experienced quality team work for you.
