摘要:
A rail lifting head (10) comprises a head gate member (20) defining a gate aperture (22), a rail support member (24) removably secured to the gate member (20) and adapted to support a rail vertically within the gate aperture (22), and a head cartridge (100) which is removably secured to the head gate member (20). The head cartridge (100) includes two opposed vertical rollers (128) which support a rail laterally within the gate aperture and a fixing (112) which secures the head cartridge (100) to the head gate member (20). The rail support member (24) is removable from the head gate member (20).
摘要:
The present invention relates to railway rail handling apparatus (10) and a method of handling railway rails using such apparatus. The railway rail handling apparatus (10) is configured for track side operation and comprises ground engaging wheel means (28) and rail moving means (12). The rail moving means (12) is configured to engage a railway rail (80) along part of its length and for its progressive movement longitudinally along the rail as the railway rail handling apparatus (10) moves on the ground engaging wheel means (28). As the rail moving means (12) moves in this fashion the rail moving means is configured to progressively bend the rail (80) laterally of an unbent part of the rail, thereby moving the rail from a first position to a second position. The railway rail handling apparatus (10) defines a footprint over the ground and the rail moving means is, in use, operative within the footprint.

摘要:
A railway maintenance apparatus (10) configured for track side operation comprises an apparatus body (14, 16, 18) supported by first and second ground engaging means comprising chain treads (28) arranged at first and second opposite sides of the apparatus body, each chain tread (28) extending in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the apparatus,a rail lifting head (48) arranged below at least part of the apparatus body between the first and second ground engaging means(28), a lifting means (40) adapted to raise or lower the rail lifting head(48), anda plough (106) arranged at the first side of the apparatus body, the plough including a blade (104) arranged to sweep ballast and a plough support structure (150) connecting the blade to the apparatus body. The spacing between the first and second ground engaging means (28) is between 0.7 and 1.5 m so that in operation the apparatus (10) can be used on single track railways, with one ground engaging means between the rails of the single track railway and the other ground engaging means to one side of the rails of the single track railway, on the ballast or area close to the track. The apparatus allows automated ballast removal in areas of restricted access.
