Use and applications

Conceived and designated for railway applications to transport concrete from the truck to the site, ballast to the track or transport of earth and rubble of the rail yard to outer area.

The rotary hopper allows distribution of the material uniformly in ditches, gutters, etc.

Factory mounted rail-wheel system

Equipped with a rail-wheel system to circulate on 1435 mm track gauge approved by SNCF according to NF 58003 standard, ADIF and IP for 1668 mm. gauge.

EASY ON-TRACK

Excellent access to rail tracks thanks to large tires and articulated chassis, which allows entrance to difficult places and on-tracking on reduced space. This also ensures continuous stabilization on the track and a permanent contact on four wheels with the rail.

Both axles are equipped with service brake and negative parking brakes and bogies are electrically isolated to prevent the occupation of the channel signal.

RAIL SPECIFIC EQUIPMENT

Cameras
Rear-view camera + 2 cameras mounted in the front and rear ends below the chassis to help the operator during on-tracking manoeuvre.

Automatic lock of articulation
Automatic hydraulic lock for the articulated steering on rail mode to increase stability and minimize the risk of derailment.

Emergency rescue operation
Manual emergency pump to release pressure and rescue the machine in case of failure on the hydraulic circuit.

Compact design and reduced height but retaining powerful operation in all conditions.
Very useful for working on tunnels and sites with reduced manoeuvrability.
Easy to transport on conventional trucks.
Payload: 9000 kg.

SECURITY
The swivelling cockpit guarantees exceptional visibility thus increasing security for the operator and other personnel around the machine.

Closed cab complies with ROPS and FOPS regulations with A/C and heating.

Oil immersed negative disc brake guarantee adherence to the ground in strong slopes even with the maxim load.

Security system on the hopper that prevents unintentional tipping.

Safety guardrails so the driver does not fall or dismount incorrectly on either side where the rail traffic is working

COMFORT

Easy access
Access to the cockpit from both sides of the machine.

Great visibility
Reversible driving position increases the efficiency of the operator on narrow sites. The seat rotates 360º and the operator is always
oriented in the direction of driving No need to turn the machine to leave a work area, retaining high visibility at all times to maximize safe operation.

Automatic steering wheel change depending on driving direction.

Stability and manoeuvrability
Supreme off-road traction ensures that all wheels constantly track. The articulated chassis increases manoeuverability with a low turning radius. And the 360º pivoting seat reduces the number of manoeuvres at site: driver only needs to rotate the seat to change driving direction.

Easy to operate – Easy to maintain
User friendly controls, high driving visibility and comfort cabin offer the best working conditions and less fatigue for the operator.

Large engine bonnet opening for optimal access to all main components.

Typical service points (water, oil, filters) are conveniently positioned to ease maintenance operations.

Strong but fuel efficient
Lacertis Cummins diesel engine meets the latest standards for noise and emissions.

The high torque offers more power at lower revs and brings exceptional response on steep gradients or poor ground conditions.

Working in difficult ground conditions
The unique combination of compact design, high stability, extreme traction and power gives the LACERTIS series extremely good driving skills even in rough and muddy conditions.
