Railway Lifting Systems

  • For lifting railway vehicles, complete motor trains
  • For replacing bogies and other mechanical units located under the carriage, performing maintenance and servicing tasks
  • Lifting at the lifting points created at the four corners of the vehicle
  • Configurations consisting of 4, 8, 12, … up to 32 lifting jacks and a central control unit, depending on the length of the load to be lifted
  • Fixed, rail-mounted, or self-propelled hydraulic versions
  • Operating Modes:
    – Individual movement:
    movement of unloaded arms
    – Group lifting: synchronized lifting and lowering of arms
    – Service mode: intervention in case of extraordinary events
