    摘要: The invention relates to a method for unloading, transporting and installing a railway track, which does not require the rail-carrying train to be brought closer after each cycle of unloading continuous welded rail (CWR), the train remaining parked at the end of the track already laid until all the CWR has been completely unloaded. According to the invention, the method consists of: fastening two rails to a crane of an unloading wagon and moving same through windows along the wagon, facilitating the descent thereof to the track; transferring the rails to a machine for pulling and positioning which moves along, leaving the rails supported on transport elements that move along the track already laid; transferring the rails from the track already laid to a section of sleepers; and moving the rails to their final position, using sliding elements placed on the sleepers.

    摘要: A container handling vehicle picks up storage containers from a three-dimensional grid of an underlying storage system. The container handling vehicle includes a vehicle module part (P1); and a container lifting part. The vehicle module part (P1) includes a first set of wheels for moving the container handling vehicle in a first direction (X) and a second set of wheels for moving the container handling vehicle in a second direction (Y). The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The container lifting part extends sideways as a cantilever from the vehicle module part (P1) and includes a hoist frame (P2) with an opening (OSP) defining an access perimeter; a hoist mechanism carried by the hoist frame (P2); a plurality of lifting bands connected to the hoist mechanism and guided by the hoist frame (P2); and a lifting frame for releasable connection to a storage container, the lifting frame being suspended in a horizontal orientation from the hoist frame (P2) by the plurality of lifting bands. The lifting frame has an opening (OLF) defining an access perimeter. The access perimeter of the opening (OSP) in the hoist frame (P2) corresponds in shape and alignment to the access perimeter of the opening (OLF) in the lifting frame to allow access to items in the storage container through the respective openings (OSP, OLF) when the lifting frame has been lifted up to the hoist frame (P2) by the hoist mechanism.

    摘要: A mobile crane including a wheeled carriage, support members having distal ends, mounted to the carriage and extendable laterally therefrom in two positions including a retracted position with the distal ends adjacent the carriage and an extended position with the distal ends separated from the carriage, first and second glide beams coupled to the distal ends for movement along a movement axis perpendicular thereto, at least one support beam connected to the tops of the glide beams and a hoist trolley coupled to the support beam. The components operate together to provide a fully supported gantry crane having a variable width useful in lifting and transporting various items including items which are wider than the carriage.

    摘要: A maintenance vehicle has a vehicle frame, supported on on-track undercarriages, on which are arranged two side walls extending in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle and adjustable with respect to one another and relative to the vehicle frame in a transverse direction of the vehicle by way of drives. The vehicle is equipped with at least one load crane which is displaceable on a crane guide that extends in the transverse direction of the vehicle. The crane guide, designed to be elongatable in the transverse direction of the vehicle, is connected at each end to a side wall.
