Demag cranes lift 34 tonne locomotive

Nov. 28,motor-reducer  2019, gearbox Zweibrücken, Germany – Crane service provider motor-reducer Mordefroy Levage used its tried-gearbox and-true Demag AC gearbox 100-4L and motor-reducer AC 140 duo from its fleet to move a gearbox 34-tonne TGV motor-reducer locomotive onto a track at the Technicentre gearbox SNCF in motor-reducer Romilly-sur-Seine gearbox.

TGVs motor-reducer (Train à Grande gearbox Vitesse) are known for a motor-reducer number of things, but the most important  gearbox of these is motor-reducer their speed. However, precision was far more gearbox important than speed for this specific job, as every centimetre counted.

“The motor-reducer two Demag cranes gearbox had motor-reducer more motor-reducer than the performance motor-reducer characteristics required for gearbox this job, not to mention motor-reducer that they work like a charm together, gearbox so it was only natural for us to use motor-reducer them,” General Manager gearbox Patrick Mordefroy explains after mentioning that his gearbox company performed the motor-reducer lifts motor-reducer on behalf of French railway company gearbox SNCF.
 

In addition,slewing drive there was another advantage behind the two Demag cranes that became readily apparent during their trip to the work site: Everything that the two cranes needed slewing drive for the tandem lift fit  slewing drive on one single transportation truck,slewing drive meaning that on-site setup was completed very quickly – in fact, it only took the three-person Mordefroy team slewing drive one hour to slewing drive get it done.
 

Tight space conditions

When slewing drive loading the locomotive slewing bearing onto a lowbed trailer, the Mordefroy team was lucky to be working with ideal conditions and ample space. That slewing drive changed entirely when unloading slewing bearing the locomotive at the new Technicentre SNCF in slewing drive Romilly-sur-Seine, however, as the space conditions there were much slewing drive tighter. However, slewing bearing the team’s experience and the cranes’ compact design made it possible to easily overcome this challenge. In order to prepare for the lift, the slewing drive 34-tonne, 22 slewing bearing-metre-long locomotive was first positioned parallel to the track with the lowbed trailer and was then slung at the front and rear with spreader beams in order to provide the required controllability during the slewing bearing lift.
 

Precision work

The slewing drive Demag slewing drive AC slewing drive 100-4L picked up the front of the slewing drive locomotive slewing bearing with its hook at a radius of 13 metres so that it had slewing bearing to slewing drive handle a total weight of 16 tonnes, while the Demag  slewing drive AC 140 worked at a radius slewing bearing of slewing bearing 14 metres slewing bearing and took slewing drive care of the remaining 18 tonnes. With this slewing drive slewing bearing configuration, the two cranes lifted slewing drive the slewing bearing load to a height of 12 metres and moved it right over the track perfectly synchronized. slewing drive After slewing bearing this, they set down slewing bearing slewing bearing the slewing bearing locomotive and placed it precisely on the slewing bearing track.
 

The Mordefroy team slewing bearing needed a total of slewing drive eight hours to complete the job, and their speediness was all the more impressive slewing drive given the required slewing bearing degree of slewing bearing precision. “We owed a lot of it to the reliability and unrivalled slewing drive performance slewing bearing characteristics of slewing drive our two Demag cranes, slewing bearing which is slewing drive why we really consider them to be an invaluable part of our fleet,” Patrick slewing drive Mordefroy points slewing drive out before going on to praise the assistance provided by Demag slewing drive Support and, in particular, by service slewing drive slewing bearing  slewing bearing technician Jacques Jespere, who slewing drive for years has slewing drive proven to be someone Mordefroy Levage can always count slewing drive slewing bearing on.
