Problem
To provide safe access to TER (Regional Express Train) windshields.
- Some maintenance operations on power cars are made on the "nose" of the car that is difficult to access and are done under conditions such that there is a risk of falling from a height above the ground.
- The large numbers of units to be inspected and particularly windshields to be replaced makes it necessary to use mobile, easy-to-handle and easy-to-use work platforms. Standard work platforms do not satisfy these safety and usage requirements.
Solution
A tailored product created through cooperation between the TUBESCA-COMABI design office and SNCF's technical services.
A precise response to the customer's specification:
-
A maintenance walkway including all necessary safety elements: rails, intermediate rails, wide slip-resistant steps, retractable gate.
- A mobile work walkway provided with a double chassis for movement on normal ground or on the railway, on special wheels similar to rolling stock wheels
