Product Description
Purpose: The trolley is used to transport and deploy wiring drums along the railway track during the installation of overhead wires for electrification.
Components:
- Frame: A sturdy metal frame with wheels or tracks that can move along the railway track.
- Drum Holders: These are designed to securely hold wiring drums of various sizes.
- Mechanical Drive: Some trolleys may have a manual crank or motorized system to unroll the wiring as needed.
- Safety Features: Given the environment (working near electrified lines), safety features such as insulation and grounding are critical.
- Mobility and Stability: The trolley must be designed to move smoothly along the railway track and maintain stability, even when loaded with heavy wiring drums.
- Compatibility: It should be compatible with the standard gauge of the railway track where it will be used.
- Operational Considerations: Ease of loading and unloading wiring drums, maneuverability around curves and switches, and ergonomic considerations for operators are important.
- Maintenance: Regular inspection and maintenance to ensure all components (wheels, frame, wiring mechanisms) are in good working order.
- Safety Standards: Adherence to safety standards and regulations specific to railway electrification projects.
In essence, a drum wiring trolley is a specialized piece of equipment designed to facilitate the efficient and safe deployment of wiring for railway overhead electrification, ensuring that the electrification process is carried out smoothly and effectively
