Our traversers which help in moving locomotives and wagons from one track to another whether they are beside each other or opposite. They function very well where only limited space is available for the necessary return tracks. . At rail terminals the wagons are delivered while pulling them on one of the tracks, after which the locomotives can traverse to a return track via the traverser. Via the return track the locomotives can be shunted to the other side of the wagons waiting on one of the siding tracks. In this way these wagons can again be pulled away.
In railway workshops a traverser is applied to move locomotives or wagons laterally from the siding track to a specific hall. In this way the wagons or locomotives can also be traversed from one hall to the other. E.g. from the repair section to the assembly hall. The great advantage of a traverser is that no long and costly return tracks with many switches need to be installed. Also more space for other purposes remains available.
We design traversers according to the specific requirements of our customers especially focusing on span, loan and the number of tracks to be operated. . Also as far as control is concerned there are many possibilities, e.g. manual control with positioning on view, to (semi) automatic positioning by means of radio remote control or via network. The control system can also be integrated in a maintenance and operational diagnostic system. Furthermore the traverser will be provided with the necessary safety mechanisms, along with protection against driving off, quay locking and all necessary signal lighting.
The entire production process consists of designing, constructing, assembly and delivery of the complete traverser.
All safety and signalling mechanisms contribute to a safe and user-friendly installation.
