Downtime

What a wagon costs while it stands still

The way to a workshop is rarely the shortest one. A path, a locomotive, staff — and the wagon is out of circulation the whole time. A great deal of that work can be done at the siding instead, which is why we are on the road.

  • The transfer

    A wagon that has to be hauled to a repair shop needs a path, a locomotive and staff before anyone has so much as touched it.

  • The circulation

    While the wagon sits in the workshop it is missing from the fleet. The load waits, the customer waits, and somebody has to find a replacement.

  • The small defect

    A missing step, a handhold, a brake component: work that should not send a wagon across the country.

What we are called for

Three things people call us about

What we do at the siding, we do in full — under the rules that apply to it and with the qualifications those rules require.

Every job in detail

  1. Repairs on site

    Draw and buffing gear, repair or replacement of steps, handholds and stanchions, wheelset checks, lubrication work and brake components. Plus the general wagon examination and the brake overhaul to BR0, VPI-EMG.

    Wheel profile measurement, lubrication, BR0 brake overhaul, three-month revision extension

  2. Wagon inspector (TKC) under the AVV

    Wagon inspections under the applicable AVV rules: technical operating safety before departure, brake tests, assessment of damage and wear, fitness-to-run examination and NDT visual testing (VT).

    Operating safety, brake test, fitness to run, NDT VT, visiteur

  3. Graffiti and wagon markings

    Proper removal with collection trays and with agents that do not attack the paint or the material. Afterwards the markings, plates and paint touch-ups are renewed to the applicable requirements.

No job is too small for us, and no challenge too large.
