In 1993, responding to a request by Conrail, an air conditioning and heating unit, designed to cool, heat, ventilate and pressurize a maintenance machine operator's cab, was concepted by Cardinal Research, a company with 40 years of specialty air conditioning design experience.
During the summer of 1994, a prototype was tested by Conrail, cooling the operator's cab on a railway maintenance machine, and was found to meet all the performance requirements specified for this new unit by Conrail engineers, operators, installation and service technicians. Based on this success, a new company, MacBone Industries Ltd., was formed in Richmond, Virginia, in 1994, to develop and produce the product.
Today, MacBone Industries is manufacturing air conditioning products being utilized for heating, cooling, ventilating and pressurizing the operator's cab on railroad maintenance of the way machines, seaport straddle carriers, off road haulers, mining machines, barge tugs and push boats, large farm machinery and fork lift trucks.
