Electro-hydraulic pit covers allow repairing and maintaining the

body of vehicles, trams, etc. while standing on rails. This

enables workers to walk safely above these pits.

The lateral working pits are equipped with hinged profile grated

covers. In this version the pit covers are electro-hydraulically

opened and closed. The swivel mechanism, however, also

allows to open the grates, when vehicles are standing above the

pit. Once the pit covers are opened and locked in 90°-position,

the grates serve as fall protection. The gratings are individually

controlled that enables parallel working at the same time, as the

gratings can be lifted hydraulically into the vertical position in the

whole row or single parts of it.

Within the lateral working pits, hydraulically working scissor-type

lifting tables are installed.

In closed condition all scissor-type lifting tables are extended

and protected by hydraulically operated bolts. The surface of the

top scissor of the lifting platform is flat on the floor and it is

possible to drive on it, but it also provides working possibilities

laterally at the vehicle.

In opened condition, several working levels are provided. Thus,

the maintenance staff reaches optimal viewing and working

height to carry our inspection works.

The turn device for gears is used for the safe

positioning of gears during dismantling and

installation work for vehicle repairs. For all tasks,

the turn device can be turned in a safe and

protected position.

Turn station

The turn station allows to turn gears up to a dead

weight of 800kg by 360° during the installation.

Stopping is possible in every position and it is

protected twice by motor and by pneumatic

brake. The turning stand can be installed into an

oil collection pan. Thanks to adapters, different

gears can be installed.

Tilt device

This device tilts transformers with variable

dimensions between (L x W x H)

1,000mm x 500mm x 300mm up to a maximum

size of 2,500mm x 2,200mm x 900mm and a

mass of 20t by 90°. For the installation resp.

repair, the transformers are positioned on four

adjustable supporting points, protected by tension

belts and tilted by 90°. The complete device can

be transported by means of a crane or an 8t

forklift truck.



The spring carrier is clamped on this device, for example for

leak test purposes. Then it will be filled with anti-corrosive oil up

to a pressure of 10 bars by means of a hydraulic pump unit.

After the pressure test the oil is pumped out again. In order to

drain the remaining oil, the spring carrier on the device is tilted

around its longitudinal axis (x-axis) and turned around the z-

axis. Hereby, the admissible load capacity for the lift and turn

device is 1,000 kg.

Handling of wheel sets

Roll stand for wheel sets

The roll stand is used to rotate wheel sets with or

without gear for inspection and repair work. Four profile

rollers, one of them is driven, support the wheel set.

The rotational speed of the wheel set is variable-speed

(between 2 and 12 rpm).

In-house storage for wheel sets

In-house storage stations for vehicle maintenance;

Upgrade works of all functional elements and

equipment with shock-proof plastic supports.

Cleaning table for wheel set shafts

On this cleaning table the driven wheel set shafts with

mounted bull gear are cleaned. The driven wheel set

shaft is horizontally positioned and manually turned.

Roll device for individual MT wheel inspection

The mounting device is used for non-destructive

examinations during wheel maintenance for the

assembly, guidance and rotation of the wheel discs

during the magnetic particle testing. For this purpose,

the wheel discs are supported in upright position on the

device, where they are safely guided laterally, while

being set into regular rotation. The rotational speed is

stepless variable (from 2 to 12 rpm).

Pre-installation and transport carriage

The carriage is used for the installation of high-

tension and control current channels at bogies of

rail vehicles.

Mounting crossbars, tailored channels,

compressed air vessels and other components

are exactly positioned on the carriage, driven

below the body of the rail vehicle and there they

are assembled.

The transport carriage has got a length of 20 m

and is 3 m wide. It is equipped with steerable and

lockable axes on both sides.

Installation carriage

The installation carriage is used to transport a

maximum of four lateral underground elements

and for their interior finishing. The segments are

taken out of the painting station by means of a

special traverse and then they are positioned in

the installation carriage. Here they are completed

with windows and interior fittings. The position of

the sidewall elements on the carriage exactly

corresponds to the later position at the body, so

that it is also possible to assemble the sidewalls

with the traverse.

Transport carriage for bogies

The carriage is used for internal transport of

bogies with a weight up to 20MP. It is equipped

with two lockable turntable. Every wheel is

equipped with a fixing brake, which is operated by

means of a manual crank. Gas pressure spring

provide the weight relief for the two drawbars.

The load securing is ensured by two infinitely

variable brake shoes on the loading surface.

They are equipped with a contour protecting the

wheel tyres.

and can be lifted from the rail system by crane or forklift

truck.

Transport rack for driven wheel sets suitable

for rail transport

The transport rack for driven wheel sets suitable for rail

transport is used to carry and transport one set of

driven wheels. The wheel set is positioned on the wheel

discs on rollers in order to allow repair and painting

work.
