Mechan: Control system for lifting devices<br />
This British specialist for depot maintenance equipment, Mechan,<br />
is presenting its new Micro-Link control system for lifting jacks at<br />
this year’s <strong>InnoTrans</strong>. Based in Sheffield, this manufacturer has designed<br />
a new control system that provides an ideal solution, both<br />
technically and commercially, for the synchronised lifting of a wide<br />
range of rail vehicles. The latest advances have enabled Mechan<br />
to install the largest individual system of lifting jacks in the UK at the<br />
Alstom transport and train maintenance centre near Manchester.<br />
Custom software enables up to 44 lifting jacks to be operated simultaneously<br />
without any compromises in flexibility. Mechan has earned<br />
a reputation for such equipment. The lifting jacks can be linked<br />
together and operated from any point using a single cable. The new<br />
touch-screen panel provides continuous feedback during the maintenance<br />
process.<br />

Mercedes-Benz:<br />
Shunting and snow clearance with the same vehicle<br />
With a newly designed powertrain which, along with the torque converter<br />
clutch for pulling heavy loads, also includes a crawler gear<br />
for very slow operating speeds, in its configuration as a professional<br />
shunter the Unimog U 400 can now be deployed with a centrifugal<br />
snow clearance unit for use on road or rails. With a system for<br />
the rapid installation and removal of the snow-clearing unit this dualpurpose<br />
Unimog can also be converted very quickly for clearing snow<br />
from level crossings or industrial roadways. The snow clearance unit<br />
is powered by a mechanical, front-mounted power take-off which can<br />
be factory-installed. Another world first on the Mercedes-Benz stand<br />
at <strong>InnoTrans</strong> is the tramrail cleaning vehicle. With its newly developed<br />
rail guidance system even the Unimog with 3,600 millimetre wheelbase<br />
and larger body can manage much tighter curves.<br />
