Powering Innovation for Rerailing, on Every Track

Powering Innovation for Hydraulic Solutions is our DNA. Almost 60 years of developing, engineering and producing for both high-pressure industrial and rescue applications drew us to the world of rerailing a decade ago. Our main goal was clear: to develop a lighter, faster system for high-stakes safety and downtime situations, without compromising durability or operator safety. So, how did we achieve this? We teamed up with experts in the field to combine our knowledge with field experience and needs, leading to the launch of the Holmatro Rerailing System at InnoTrans 2016. Only ten years later, we are proud to have a proven track record of delivering our rerailing solutions for trains, metros and trams. And we’ve supplied them to countries ranging from the Netherlands to Australia, the United States, Spain, China, Thailand, and many others in between. And the journey has just begun! As we continue to develop the next generation of rerailing solutions, we remain committed to delivering safer, faster and smarter solutions for railway operators worldwide. Powering Innovation, on every track. Johan Knuivers, ProRail, said:The result of our close collaboration was astounding. We have three sets of Holmatro rerailing systems in use, and together they are deployed 50–60 times per year. Due to the lower weight, safety features and ergonomics of the components, the system enables us to work faster and safer. This has resulted in the fact that we could do our job in two hours less per deployment. This time reduction and more ergonomic and safer deployment has also led to less absenteeism of our employees. Discover Holmatro’s Rerailing Systems SAFE When working in demanding circumstances and time is of the essence, you want to ensure a safe work environment above all. To increase stability and safety, we use stacking rings when the cylinders are extracted: - Easy to safely place around the plunger of the lifting cylinder - Mechanically locks the load in position for a longer time - Enabling you to work safely near and under the load - Easy replaceable slide bearings both under and in the traverse sled; a safer operation with less stress on the railway vehicle and the equipment. No steel wheel rollers needed, decreasing maintenance & weight - An indicator on the traverse sleds will alert the operator to the traverse limits, preventing instability of the railway vehicle and the equipment - Coloured hoses & matching colours on the outlets of the pump unit and/or control table; reduces the possibility of incorrect assembly and thus faulty operations - Load lowering valves on each cylinder, ensuring lowering is possible in a controlled manner without the load having of influence on lowering - Integrated hose rupture security feature in the lowering valves on each lifting cylinder; ensured safety, because of the load holding function, even in the event of a hose rupture CONTROLLED Working with high-pressure hydraulics requires great responsibility. Holmatro high-pressure hydraulic systems are designed to offer you controlled power. - We offer a wireless, remote-controlled pump unit; no need to carry out a heavy, noisy pump unit into the field - Our traverse cylinder carries an equal capacity for both pushing and pulling, enabling you to both push and pull the vehicle into position, usable in any position and either direction - Inside the traverse sleds, you will find an additional internal sled, compensating for the radius the train makes, working with less or even without repositioning of the system during operation - An indicator on the traverse sleds will alert the operator to the traverse limits; this prevents the instability of the railway vehicle and the equipment - Sled fill plates are used to place the cylinder closer to the lifted object and not lose stroke of the plunger to reach it - Adapter plates are used to position the cylinder directly at the center of the traverse sled or filing plate - Finally, we added a locking device; Shou…
