Traversers (transfer table) for railway vehicles transfer

With the help of a train traverser, locomotives or wagons can be smoothly shifted sideways from one track to another — whether adjacent or directly opposite. This solution is particularly useful in locations where there isn’t enough space for traditional switch tracks, such as rail terminals and maintenance depots.

Depending on requirements the transfer table can be of different types and with different load capacity:

• with pit / without pit
• with screen / without screen
• transmission type / blind type
• load capacity up to 160 tons

The electrical shunting winch and sheeve wheels system are installed on the transfer table for pulling and pushing the vehicle.

Winch engine rotation speed can be regulated by frequency inverter.

To prevent inadvertent motion of the vehicle on the transfer table, the outriggers are used.

The independent drive of running wheels is used in transfer table. Fluent accelleration/decelleration is reached by frequency-regulated AC drive.

Transfer table control system is based on Siemens controllers. They control the drive ant its blocking. For precise positioning and synchronization of traveling gears the travel sensors are used.

There are central control panel and utility control consoles. Operator on the control panel chooses the railway number, loading and unloading point of railway vehicle and the transfer table automatically moves to the set railway.

For work with transfer table during dark hours internal and external lighting is required. For protection from atmospheric fallout the transfer table can be supplied with tent.
