RAIL SERVICE

RELIABLE MAINTENANCE AND MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY

In our Rail Service division, we pool all our technical expertise to maintain the bogies and wheel sets of rail vehicles efficiently, precisely and sustainably. As a manufacturer-independent service provider, we support operators, workshops and fleet managers in keeping their vehicles safe, cost-effective and operational in the long term. In doing so, we combine state-of-the-art workshop equipment with in-depth expertise, digitally supported processes and high standards of quality and adherence to deadlines.

Our range of services extends from short-notice repairs to comprehensive fleet inspections, all from a single source. We offer solutions that are precisely tailored to our customers’ technical requirements and operational processes. Short turnaround times, transparent documentation and flexible capacity ensure that vehicles are back on the tracks quickly.

WHEEL SET MAINTENANCE

Maximum availability & certified quality
  • Scheduled and on-demand maintenance of running and driving wheel sets at maintenance levels IS1 to IS3
  • Processing of drive wheel sets with gearboxes and traction motors up to 4.5 t
  • Dismantling and refitting of wheel set bearings, as well as bearing inspections and, on request, colour coating
  • Ultrasonic testing and other non-destructive testing methods
  • Comprehensive, customer-specific documentation and flexible, very short turnaround times

PRECISION PRESSING

Process-controlled 2-piston wheel set press
  • Maximum process reliability in accordance with ISO 13260 and UIC 813V
  • Particularly efficient machining of driving wheel sets with gearboxes thanks to the loading trolley
  • Significantly reduced set-up times through pressing on both sides
  • Wheel set diameters up to 1,250 mm
  • An integrated measuring system monitors the entire process and enables full documentation of the pressing process and the wheel set geometry

 

The semi-automated pressing process ensures consistently high quality and makes the process particularly cost-effective – ideal for small and medium batch sizes.

BOGIE MAINTENANCE
Comprehensive bogie service
  • Bogie general inspections
  • Repairs as required, e.g. following derailments
  • Removal and refitting of axles for wheelset maintenance
  • Refit planning and engineering
PRESSURE TEST
Bogie testing under real load conditions
  • Documentation of wheel/axle loads and spring deflections
  • Adjustment and leak testing of pneumatic systems
  • Maximum bogie dimensions: 1,600 mm (h) x 3,300 mm (w)
  • Track width: 1,435 mm, maximum force: 2 × 250 kN

BOGIE MEASUREMENT

Digital measurement of bogie and locomotive frames

We offer precise 3D measurements in virtual coordinate systems – even for complex welded structures. Accident damage is reliably documented, and thanks to mobile measurement technology, flexible deployment is possible directly under workshop conditions. Our trained experts carry out measurements both in-house and directly on site.

WORKSHOP EQUIPMENT

Quality and flexibility thanks to state-of-the-art workshop equipment

Our modern workshop facilities, featuring 20-tonne crane systems, a double wash bay with efficient water treatment, and a central location in the Ruhr region, ensure optimal operations. As a manufacturer-independent repair specialist, we offer you bespoke solutions combined with very short turnaround times.
