Cranesmith offers overhead and gantry crane systems specifically designed for railway and metro infrastructure projects. Our solutions support track laying, maintenance, and the handling of heavy rail components, ensuring smooth and efficient operations.
Applications and Uses:
- Track Laying: Gantry cranes handle large sections of rail, sleepers, and supporting infrastructure during the construction of rail lines and metro systems.
- Train Car Maintenance: Overhead cranes lift heavy train cars for maintenance, enabling easy access to undercarriage components.
- Component Installation: Jib cranes provide versatile solutions for the installation of electrical and mechanical components in stations and rail infrastructure.
Possible solutions to RAIL AND METRO manufacturing in collaboration with STREET HOISTS :
- Street Hoists have been installed in many overhead cranes, portal cranes and special bespoke cranes for the manufacture and maintenance of railways or railway rolling stock for more than 60 years with a focus on crane availability, reliability and ease of maintenance with minimum downtime.
- For safe and accurate handling of longer loads such as a railway carriage assembly, tandem lifting is often employed. This involves two cranes operating in a master/slave configuration from a single radio control. A host of safety features can be specified to ensure safe synchronisation of the two cranes operating together.
- The ZX hoist will generally be specified for rolling stock manufacture, maximising availability and minimising the need for maintenance. All crane travel motions are inverter controlled, ensuring safe acceleration and deceleration for load stability and precise low speed final placement.
