Vehicle for use in construction and maintenance work on overhead systems of railway, tramway, subway lines or the like

摘要

The invention relates to a vehicle to be used in construction or maintenance work on overhead systems (17) of railway lines, or the like, comprising a truck whereon at least two platforms (8, 9) are mounted, which may be lifted enough to reach the uppermost parts of the structure (17), said platforms (8, 9) being provided in laterally staggered positions at symmetrically opposite sides with reference to the median longitudinal axis (10) of the vehicle, i.e. with reference to the area in which the contact wire of an overhead electrification line (17) runs, and each platform (8, 9) being able to be oscillated in the horizontal plane to such an extent that it can be displaced angularly outwards at least to a position in which it is perpendicular to the axis (10) of the vehicle. According to the invention, the axis of oscillation of each platform (8, 9) is preferably outside the platform (8, 9) and/or at a certain distance therefrom, and the platforms (8, 9) have such a size that, in an outwardly swung position through an angle of 90°, it is possible to cover the whole distance between a pair of trestles (16) or any structures for supporting the electrification overhead line, which is positioned symmetrically with respect to the axis of the track with no other side translational movement of the platforms (8, 9) or the like.
