HARSCO TARGETS UK WITH SPECIALIST RAIL GRINDER

摘要

Infrastructure maintenance specialist Harsco Rail has extended its service offering with the launch of the RO-V 149 road-rail grinding machine, designed to dramatically improve the condition of rail networks in the UK. Development and deployment has been handled under a partnership with German plant manufacturer Moser Maschinenbau. Based in the UK, the grinding machine is aimed at tram and light rail operators who in the past have generally relied on importing equipment from Europe, meaning that vital rail grinding operations can now be performed at much shorter notice. With typical noise emissions of 75dB and CO_2 emissions of around 60kg/h, the RO-V 149 is well-suited to urban networks. Its compact design enables it to operate within a restricted loading gauge and narrow streets, also enabling works to take place while the adjacent track or road space remains open for traffic.
