:: MFD - RERAILING EQUIPMENT

Oil-hydraulic light-metal rerailing systems of Hegenscheidt-MFD are used all over the world, operate reliably, are safe and robust, and suitable for all rail vehicles.

The compact, light components meet the highest of safety demands, have a long stability, and are easy to handle. The entire system can be operated by one person by means of a control panel without any problems, without staff having to be in the hazard area. Colour codes facilitate the connection of the standard components. The extensive practice-proven range of accessories can be adapted in an easy way.


Worlifts are also a Hegenscheidt-MFD approved service centre.

::HEGENSCHEIDT-MFD RERAILING SYSYTEM

High safety and ease of operation

For more than 100 years Hegenscheidt-MFD has been a partner to railway organizations. The acknowledged high level of Hegenscheidt-MFD railway technique is based on many years of continuous and close co-operation with the leading railway organizations in the world . Intensive involvement with the problems encountered by rail-bound traffic led to the development of rerailing equipment already in 1926.This equipment was to provide the global basis for modern rerailing equipment.

Today Hegenscheidt-MFD rerailing equipment renders its contribution to the maintenance of railway traffic in more than 70 countries in the world.

The double-acting re-pressure system, which has already been well proved in the field of industrial hydraulics, is also incorporated in the Hegenscheidt-MFD rerailing equipment. Thus all operations of lifting,lowering, pushing and pulling can be completely controlled accurately to the mm and corrected so that the maximum level of safety is achieved.

The individual components of the Hegenscheidt-MFD rerailing system are adapted to each other in relation to their size, lifting height, carrying capacity and power in such a way that they meet the latest trends of railway technology.

The design of the system is such that according to the composition of the components all types of rail vehicle (tramways, underground and mainline railways, locomotives and power cars, steelworks cars including the heaviest torpedo ladle cars) can be raised and rerailed.

Additionally this system is particularly suitable for raising and displacing bridges and other heavy loads.

Hegenscheidt-MFD rerailing equipment can also be used on single lines. In the case of multi track lines the secondary track is not blocked and, moreover, it is not necessary to remove the contact wires of electrified lines.

Hegenscheidt-MFD rerailing system is subject to the highest safety requirements which is proved by its characteristic features such as ease of operation, simple handling, stable design and stability under load.
