Purpose
The X6 performs, straight from the railroad
tracks, any necessary lifting of employees
for the installation of wire systems or for the
maintenance of the railway overhead line
system.
Description
The X6 is an all-terrain self-propelled
road-rail vehicle with hydrostatic drive. In
all-terrain mode, the vehicle can move in
any direction, as its wheels can be turned
anywhere from -30° to 90°. It has a powerful coupling system, as well as low pressure pneumatic wheels with an oscillating
axle that enables it to access to the tracks
at any place. On tracks, the X6 can move
at a speed of up to 23 km/h thanks to its
direct railway hydrostatic drive.
The X6 can carry up to 3 people and some
equipment. For safely lifting employees,
the X6 is equipped with:
• A scissor-lift platform for 2 people that
can access central set points at a height
of up to 10 m from the tracks,
• A telescopic lifting platform built so
that an operator can cover the entire
work zone that is necessary in order to
access set points that are up to 5 m from
the centre of the track and up to 12 m
high over the rails,
• An equipotentiality telescopic mast to
ensure that wires have been grounded
before operators begin to work on the
cables.
higher than the poles and enabling operators to go up and easily x the parallel
return wire, cantilevers, isolators, feeders,
etc,
• The X6’s platforms can be lifted and lowered very quickly, reducing the time it takes
to make a round trip where tools and parts
are exchanged,
• The telescopic lifting platform can be lowered down to 30 cm from the ground in
order to facilitate loading material such
as counterweights or droppers, with some
employees standing on the tracks,
layout. The X6 offers its employees ergonomic work positions for more efciency,
less fatigue, and more safety,
• It is a very safe system that only authorises
work on the “Field” side, therefore freeing
up an adjacent track that would be open
for trafc,
• Approved for circulation on the French
network.
• It saves time at worksites thanks to its ability to set on and off tracks in only two
minutes. It therefore allows another heavy
work machine to go by without having to
use a road rail crossing. It also allows operators to work as soon as a track’s trafc
has been cut off up until the last authorised
moment,
• It allows the scissor platform’s operators
to work face to face with the telescopic
platform’s operator during dropper adjustments or individually with the telescopic
platform’s operator operating the cantilevers,
• It shows exceptional capacity to overcome
ballast or other embankments thanks to its
low pressure pneumatic wheels that are
each driven by a high torque hydraulic
motor and thanks to its oscillating axle
which easily adapts to any terrain,
Strengths
• While in all-terrain mode, the vehicle is
controlled by a radio control that is then
plugged on to the master elevator in order
to be able to control it while on rails,
• Allows access to all the set points in the
overhead catenary system, going even
• The scissor platform includes a lateral railing that follows the wires’ zig-zagging
