Uprighting of rolling stock
With the uprighting system, overturned rolling stock can be turned back to its normal position so
that it may be rerailed.
The lifting belt (4) is fastened to the vehicle framed by means of a holding rope (5) and shackle (6).
The plastic rope is now thrown over the vehicle, and the lifting belt is pulled tight and fastened to
the frame or another superstructural part.
The rope-lift cylinder (1) or tilting jack (3) is used to raise the vehicle at the lifting belt crossbars.
When the cylinder is completely extended, a second rope-lift cylinder or tilting jack is placed in
position for further uprighting.
Each extension cycle must be secured mechanically (beam support).
