When it comes to cleaning in rail, there’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution.

Whether you’re maintaining carriages, managing repairs in a depot, or manufacturing key parts for the industry, using the wrong wipe can cost you time, introduce avoidable risks, and lead to unnecessary waste.

That’s why Harrisons developed the Industrial Range — a purpose-built line of high-performance, nonwoven wipes designed to match the exact needs of your process. No lint. No compromise. Just the right wipe, for the right task.

The range includes 9 wipes across three tiers — Technical, Premium and Pro — each with unique strengths, so anyone in rail can find a wipe that offers the right level of strength, absorbency, lint-control and sustainability.

So, how does the Industrial Range help the rail industry?

Speeding up the MRO process

In rail, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) tasks demand a level of precision that disposable rags — which are all too common in these settings — simply can’t match. Lint and poor absorbency aren’t just frustrating, they can damage sensitive components or introduce risk into safety-critical processes. 

Compounding the issue, many MRO tasks involve the use of solvents and other chemicals, requiring wipes that can withstand abrasion without degrading.

That’s where Harrisons comes in. In the Industrial Range, you can find a wipe that performs consistently, that is durable enough for degreasing and grime removal, absorbent enough for spill clean-up, and soft enough for delicate component cleaning tasks. In short, they’re built for efficiency on the workshop floor, and by reducing contamination and increasing reliability, they help engineers stay focused on the job — not the mess.

Wipes that help rail manufacturers move faster

On the production side, speed and consistency are everything. Downtime means costs, and so do reworks.

Our Industrial Range supports manufacturing environments with wipes engineered to keep tools, work surfaces and delicate equipment clean, without leaving residue behind. 

They help reduce defects during paint prep, get through cleaning tasks faster, and get fantastic results every time.

Wiping more sustainably – without sacrificing performance

Sustainability is a growing focus across the rail sector, but for manufacturers and operators alike, this should not come at a cost to performance. 

We've included two sustainability-first options in the Industrial Range that are plastic free. 

  • Tech 100: Made with Sontara® materials, the Tech 100 is a breakthrough in wiping sustainability, high-performance wiping with reduced environmental impact. Its fibres are 100% cellulosic and offer superior absorbency while reducing environmental impact.
  • Prem 100: Made from wood pulp and lyocell, the Prem 100 is capable of absorbing 5x its weight, and has a velvety texture that ensures fast clean-up and minimal surface abrasion.

The crucial thing here is that with both wipes, you don't have to sacrifice performance whilst taking a step forward on sustainability.

From depot to production line, the Industrial Range helps rail professionals reduce risk, save time, and clean with precision. When every detail matters, the right wipe makes the difference.
