The Bogie Turntables are used for turning bogies and similar units. They enable to change bogies of track routes within small spaces and in any angle and can connect multiple rail tracks.
Basically, the turntable consists of a solid lower frame and upper frame with a cover, which are connected by a center pin unit.
The upper frame is supported in the outer area by various travelling rollers bearings, which guarantees higher stability and carrying capacity upon crossing and turning.
There are two types of Bogie Turntables available, with electric motor for automatic turning or manual turning operation.
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Use
This unit is designed for on-site transporting of assembled bogies within workshops, and it avoids the use of overhead cranes.
Variety
Wide variety of sizes. It can also be adapted to different weights and dimensions.
Quality
High quality in industrial processes.
The turntables are equipped with a locking unit which centers and fixes the turntable in the required limit positions via a tipping sheet steel plate. The locking device needs released manually by the operator, before turning. At the locking wedge two screws and nuts are mounted, which enable a perfect adjustment of the wedge inside the recess.
The lifting systems consist of groups of four lifting jacks, with load capacity ranging from 5 tons per jack for lifting light vehicles, to 40 tons per jack for lifting heavier vehicles such as railway inspection cars or locomotives.
Each group of four jacks is controlled by a separate control box. To achieve a synchronized up/down movement of entire compositions, the different control boxes of the groups of four jacks, can be grouped into a central control box.
Each lifting jack is equipped with a pallet truck system for moving them on the floor of the workshop, and eyebolts for moving them with an overhead crane, to different installation areas.
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Features
Versatile, safe, and capable of lifting entire compositions or independent cars.
Variety
Wide range of lifting capacities and heights; able to adapt to different body dimensions and weights.
