Cable shunting device PZ 3-15 (side fastening)

Cable shunting device PZ 3-15 (side fastening) is designed for precise handling of max. 6 railway vehicles on railway tracks, and side railway tracks of corporate railway sidings. The device is able to completely replace economically demanding operation of locomotive in the given handling space, or obsolete method of shunting using towing rope. The benefit is also the increase of work safety while shunting, and the increase of operator´s comfort, and saving of handling time.

The device LPZ 3-15 consist of the basic technology units, placed in the area of the given railway track:
- Drive station
- Return station
- Manipulation rod
- Leading railtrack

Between the drive and the return station is along the rail track placed leading track for manipulation rod, which is led by a transport rope to both stations. Prestress of the rope is constantly secured by tension drive station. Manipulation rod is used to anchor the side hook of the rail car and ensures its secure fastening shile shunting, as well as during technology breaks.
Leading track can be supplied in version for side railway tracks. Installation of the technology can carried out on all common types of sleepers (wood and concrete).
Standard delivery includes basic electrical equipment, including radio remote control. At the request of a user, it is possible in appropriate places of the manipulation space to firmly place control panels (for example - in the operator´s control room of filling machine). In case of insufficient operator´s visual contact with the towing device is the monitoring system a good complement (not included in the standard delivery). The device is suitable for integration into automated operation controlled, for example, by a computer.
The delivery of the device includes installation, training of operators, and complete project design documentation.
