THE BE-AR RAIL SYSTEM

The BE-AR rail system has been developed after years of experience in the railroad-construction market. This system is developed to guarantee a safe rail guidance with sufficient load on all rail wheels in a wide range of applications.

With the introduction of EN15746 limits have been set for the track situation in relation to cant and twist on which the machine must be able to operate. However to meet these requirements the existing machines are severely limited in the performance in this situation. The company that is doing the construction of the railroad is responsible for the track being in the limits for the machines for safe operation. And also for the choice of the machines to work on the track. If the machine does not meet the requirements to work on that track a different machine has to be chosen or track has to be improved.

With the BE-AR rail system we have taken in to account the reality and the regulations. We have found that many machines in the market have difficulties to comply with these regulations and we see that due to this fact safety devices will be switched off to get the job done. The current machines have serious limitations in working within the limits and we found that the design needed to be changed. With this in mind we have set a goal to develop a system that would create a safer machine with a good overall performance within these limits.

With the use of the regulations and the knowledge of the operators concerning problems and limitations we had a guideline for the development of a solution for a safer, easy to operate machine. Providing good performance for the operator and construction company to operate within the limits. Testing the solution that we have found showed that we match and even exceed these limits and gives a wider safe range in which the machine can operate. This means that the machine will be able to be used in a wider range of limits which the EN15746 demands. This gives also improved performance of the RCI in load and carry mode. Most of the work performed with rail/road excavators is done while driving and depends on stability. This solution does not depend on activation by the operator and is there fore asier and safer to use without the risk of derailment.

 Advantages:
  • Designed as a module to be fitted on a wide range of machines;
  • Wider range of use for rail twist and cant limits on which the machine will be able to operate;
  • Improved production and lifting capacity, higher output without added risk;
  • Designed as a permanent solution, no activation by operator needed;
  • Safer due to permanent protection against derailment.
