ABOUT WAGGONBAU GRAAFF

More than a century of experience in tank wagon manufacturing

Since its founding in 1914, Waggonbau Graaff has stood for technical expertise, quality, and customized solutions in rail vehicle engineering. At our Elze location, we develop and manufacture tailor-made tank cars for demanding transportation needs in the chemical, mineral oil, and process industries. In doing so, we combine many years of experience with state-of-the-art design and manufacturing technology.


As part of VTG Group, Waggonbau Graaff combines decades of experience in tank car manufacturing with the resources, networks, and expertise of a leading European rail freight transport company. For our customers, this means integrated solutions throughout the entire life cycle of a rail freight wagon.

Fleet management

Minimal downtime – maximum operational readiness

You want to be able to rely on your freight wagons being ready for use at all times. Downtime due to overhauls, modernization, repairs, or maintenance costs time and money—and in the case of hazardous goods, it can also lead to safety-critical delays.

SOLUTIONS

The expert when standard solutions reach their limits.

Four areas of expertise demonstrate what Waggonbau Graaff stands for, from the manufacture of chemical tank cars to complete custom-designed solutions.

Chemical tank cars

Unheated, insulated, and heatable tank cars in various stainless steel designs, tailored for sensitive chemical products.

Pressurized & liquefied gas tank cars

Innovative valve systems in stainless steel and carbon steel for chemical, mineral oil, and pressurized gas tank cars.

Fittings and Valves

Technically advanced valve solutions, developed and manufactured to meet the highest standards of leak-tightness and safety.
