The GD Group Lifting Systems are specifically designed to meet the needs of the railway vehicle industry, allowing for the safe and synchronized lifting of entire motor trains or railway car bodies. The equipment’s main application is in the replacement of mechanical units under the vehicle, such as bogies, drive systems, and brake systems, as well as regular maintenance and inspection of the vehicles.
The group lifting technology is crucial for vehicle operators and service centers, as it provides quick, precise, and safe access to the components under the vehicle. Lifting occurs at four standardized lifting points located at the corners of the railway vehicle.
System Structure and Operation:
Group lifters typically consist of 4-8-12-…-32 lifting jacks and a central control unit. The exact configuration depends on the length and structural design of the vehicle to be lifted. The lifting jacks can be configured as:
