Railway vehicle for controlling the growth of unwanted vegetation on railway tracks

摘要

Railway vehicle for controlling the growth of unwanted vegetation on railway tracks, with, mounted displaceably on the railway vehicle (1) transversely to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, one or more radiating units (2, 3) for the generation of electromagnetic radiation, in particular infrared radiation. According to the invention, the laterally extendable radiating units (2, 3) can be pivoted up and down about an axis (6, 17) running in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, in order to achieve optimum adaptation to the surfaces to be treated.
