2020 Palfinger Railway Systems

Optimum efficiency is achieved when PALFINGER railway units are used in combination with each other.

PALFINGER railway systems are uncompromisingly designed for railway applications. Close collaboration with the vehicle manufacturers results in perfectly matched units, thereby ensuring the optimum maintenance vehicle with unparalleled features.

This means, for example, that all work positions can be reached simply, quickly and safely when installing and maintaining overhead contact wires. By simultaneously using a positioner which is remotely controlled from the platform, the pressure on the anchor points of the contact wire and carrying cable can be relieved and work can be carried out on insulators and mounting brackets. If another crane is used in addition, then even the heaviest components such as the overhead contact wire masts or automatic tensioners can be replaced in record time

Features may include:

PKR RAILWAY CRANES

• The increasing demand for accuracy placed on the catenary systems on high-speed routes means that there can be no collision of the crane boom with the overhead contact wire. New machine concepts are required to enable work to be carried out efficiently in even the shortest breaks between trains and also without obstructing the adjacent track.

• PKR railway cranes meet these requirements perfectly.

• PALFINGER PKR railway cranes are:

• - The optimum crane concept for use underneath overhead contact wires

• - Powerful in all working positions thanks to the time-tested PALFINGER Power Link® system

• - Particularly robust for the most difficult assignments on large track curve cambers

• - Extremely versatile due to a large number of additional attachments

• - Particularly efficient due to high operating speeds

PALFINGER RAILWAY CRANES

• Extremely busy routes require constant construction and maintenance work. It is only possible to efficiently manage the manipulation of building materials and heavy items of equipment which this involves by using versatile and powerful vehicles.

• PALFINGER railway cranes considerably expand the application range of these vehicles. They therefore make a significant contribution to the mechanisation of workflows which is absolutely essential due to increasing cost pressure.

• Further examples of their versatility:

• - with load hook

• - with sleeper grab

• - with loppers

• - with branch saw

• - with rail tongs

• - with mulching device

• - with cable winch

• - with workman basket

• - with clamshell grab

RAILWAY ACCESS PLATFORMS

• Innovation and application-specific expertise are reflected in PALFINGER Railway’s versatile access platforms. They facilitate particularly fast and efficient repair and maintenance work. They also create safe access to all positions in the catenary and power supply system.

• PALFINGER Railway access platforms offer:

• Maximum working safety

• Maximum efficiency during assignments

• Maximum working comfort

• Optimum access to all points in the catenary and power supply system

• A huge working range, with some models down to well below track level

• Especially high basket loads

• Particularly strong slewing mechanisms for maximum track curve cambers and additional horizontal forces
