Rerailing Systems

Lateral Displacement

HEGENSCHEIDT presents a world first in the field of rerailing systems in the form of counterholders with hydraulically controlled anchor cylinders.

Side shifting

In contrast to all other rerailing devices available on the market, the system not only offers the option of repositioning the shifting cylinder from the control panel, but also prevents the lifted load from rolling away in an uncontrolled manner. This ensures seamless control of all movements throughout the entire rerailing process. In this context, other components of the side shift - roller carriage, shift cylinder, spacer - have also been newly developed. The use of high-strength aluminum alloys leads to a significant reduction in weight. At the same time, the tractive force of the new sliding cylinder has been increased by around 65%.
