Switches & platforms

Flexibility for rail traffic in tunnels

The California switch and the trailing switch allow two rail vehicles to pass on a single-track line, thus increasing the efficiency of tunnel logistics. They are available in symmetrical or asymmetrical versions and offer an integrated parking area for emergency vehicles. Thanks to their modular design, they can be easily installed in the tunnel and flexibly adapted.

Flexibility and functionality in the tightest of spaces

This flyover enables rubber-tired vehicles to overtake in the tunnel or serves as a work platform for cross passages and tunnel work. Equipment such as rescue chambers, injection or dosing systems can be positioned and operated on it. The modular design facilitates assembly and adapts flexibly to the curve radius of the tunnel. With a diesel-hydraulic drive and separately steerable axles, the flyover can avoid obstacles. For special requirements, the flyover can also be split into two halves.

Agility and precision for rail transport

Rail-bound vehicles are used to transport people, excavated material, segments and other tunnel construction materials. Whether to bypass tunnel obstacles or for two trains to meet: switches improve the maneuverability of trains in tunnels. Depending on tunnelling requirements, the design, dimensions, track gauge, curve radius and other factors of the switches can be individually adapted. In addition, the switches are modular in design to enable simple and uncomplicated installation in the tunnel.

Reduce operating costs thanks to optimized workflows 

Turntables are used for turning trucks and other rubber-tired vehicles, as well as for driving over MSVs. They improve logistics by maximizing available space, increasing safety and reducing vehicle wear. They enable efficient maneuvering in cramped spaces, speed up loading and unloading and reduce operating costs. Turntables also improve site accessibility, reduce environmental impact by minimizing empty runs and support a smooth flow of traffic.
