KITO ER2 ELECTRIC HOISTS FOR NETWORK RAIL

CUSTOMER SPECIFICATION


Red Rooster Lifting were contacted by Harsco Rail who were looking to replace their existing hoists on the Mobile Maintenance Trains that they operate on behalf of Network Rail. The units were to be replaced as part of their routine maintenance.

EQUIPMENT PURPOSE


The hoists were required to transfer materials from the intermediate car within the Mobile Maintenance Train to and from where the work activities were to be carried out.

SOLUTION


Mobile Maintenance Trains

The state-of-the-art 'workshop on wheels' is transforming the way Network Rail engineers work by improving safety, efficiency and, ultimately the cost of running the railway.

Harsco Rail requested 2 x KITO ER2 electric hoists per train to meet their requirements. Over the last 18 months, Red Rooster Lifting has supplied Harsco Rail with multiple electric hoists to fulfill the routine maintenance that's being carried out on the trains. The equipment featured a capacity of up to 2 tonnes, a height of lift of 3 metres and a push button pendant fitted with an emergency stop.

The lifting solutions have been installed on Mobile Maintenance Trains to aid in the repair and upgrade to 20,000 miles of tracks and signalling, helping 4 million people complete their journey every single day.
