Light-Metal Rerailing Systems

The oil-hydraulic rerailing equipment of light-metal alloy with re-pressure system
Hegenscheidt-MFD rerailing system - high safety and ease of operation.
For more than 100 years Hegenscheidt-MFD has been a reliable partner to railway organizations. The acknowledged high level of Hegenscheidt-MFD railway technique is based on continuous and close co-operation with the leading railway organizations in the world. Due to its intensive dedication to the search for solutions to overcome problems occurring with railway traffic 1962 developed rerailing equipment has become the basis of current rerailing technique all over the world.
Today Hegenscheidt-MFD rerailing equipment renders its contribution to the maintenance of railway traffic in more than 70 countries in the world.
The double-acting re-pressure system, which has already been well proved in the field of industrial hydraulics, is also incorporated in the Hegenscheidt-MFD rerailing equipment. Thus all operations of lifting, lowering, pushing and pulling can be completely controlled accurately to the millimeter and corrected so that the maximum level of safety is achieved.
The individual components of the Hegenscheidt-MFD rerailing system are adapted to each other in relation to their size, lifting height, carrying capacity and power in such a way that they meet the latest trends of railway technique. Consequently, as a result, a method has been found to connect rescue devices and air bags to the Hegenscheidt-MFD rerailing system by means of newly developed pressure intensifiers and hydraulically driven air compressors.
The design of the system is such that according to the composition of the components all types of rail vehicle (trainways, underground and mainline railways, locomotives and power cars, steelworks cars including the heaviest torpedo ladle cars) can be raised and rerailed. Additionally this system is particularly suitable for raising and displacing bridges and other heavy loads.
Hegenscheidt-MFD rerailing equipment can be used on both single and multi track lines. In the case of multi tack lines the secondary track is not blocked and, moreover, it is not necessary to remove the contact wires of electrical lines.
Hegenscheidt-MFD rerailing system is subject to the highest safety requirements which is proved by its characteristic features such as ease of operation, simple handling, stable design and stability under load.
