Shunting Locomotive

Shunting Locomotive
Diesel electric
For special operation cases the Schalker Eisenhütte developed
diesel-electric shunting locomotives, which are used as labour
locomotives or for the rescue of broke down trains in public
transport and underground areas.
These different operation conditions require that a locomotive is variable with regard
to its axle load, clearance and brake force so that it can be adjusted to the most different
conditions. This special shunting locomotive is a bogie locomotive equipped with four
axles that are driven independent of each other.
The traction converter controlled travel motors allow the individual torque control of
each drive axis.
A highly efficient slip and slide protection system guarantees the optimum use of the
available traction forces depending on the friction coefficient wheel-rail. Due to
our worldwide operating teleservice system a high availability is guaranteed. Once
connected to the vehicle the data connection allows the service engineer in our
Gelsenkirchen office the same insight into the control as if being at site.
