Railroad EquipmentRailway ElectrificationOverhead Catenary System (OCS)A railway electrification system supplies electric power to railway trains and trams without an on-board prime mover or local fuel supply. In comparison to the principal alternative, the diesel engine, electric railways offer substantially better energy efficiency, lower emissions and lower operating costs. Electric locomotives are usually quieter, more powerful, more responsive and more reliable than diesel engines. They have no local emissions, which is an important advantage in tunnels and urban areas. Although these locomotives have many advantages, electrification requires significant capital expenditure. Colmar offers the right equipment to electrify the tracks efficiently. Our machines are used to prepare the foundation for the masts, erect the mast, and put the overhead horizontal beam into place. T10000FS with AugerFor the foundation, Colmar Hi-Rail loaders can be equipped with a telescopic piling drill accessory of size, consistent with the application, to which a replaceable auger is fitted. Verticality is guaranteed by a control system, including a display in the cab. One operator only is required to move and operate the r/r loader & accessory from its ergonomically designed cab.
T10000FS with Pile DriverThe Hi-Rail loaders can also be equipped with a pile driver. This accessory grabs the pile and drives it into the ground by means of a vibration system. Verticality is guaranteed by a control system, including a display in the cab. Only one operator is required to move and operate the loader & accessory from its ergonomically designed cab.
T10000FS with Hydraulic Impact HammerThe Hi-Rail loaders can also be equipped with a hydraulic impact hammer. This accessory holds the pile and drives it into the ground by means of impacts by an integrated hammer. Only one operator is required to move and operate the loader & accessory, from its ergonomically designed cab.
Colmar Hi-Rail loaders can avail two systems for handling, lifting, erecting and fastening railway masts:T10000FS with Boom ExtensionThe Rhino Horn attachment is an extension applied to the Hi-Rail loader boom, which allows to strap the upper end of the mast, lift it and bring it to a vertical position. T10000FS with Mast ManipulatorThe manipulator is a special accessory that can grab and lift the mast from the ground/wagon, bring it to a vertical position, and position it on the plinth with a high degree of precision. This is important for stud fastening purposes. T10000FSCG Railroad CraneOur Hi-Rail crane, the T10000FSCG, has the capability to install the overhead horizontal beam with the telescoping boom reverse knuckle. This allows the operator to reach the desired position in a more vertical way, with minimum interference with the other structures.
