Rerailing bridge
Various different bridge dimensions are available (see separate operating instructions for
LUKAS traversing system), depending on the requirement.
You need to take account of the permissible loading with respect to the support distance.
If parts of bridges need to be installed/connected, you need to provide packing under the
joint areas (see separate operating instructions for LUKAS traversing system).
The bridges must be set horizontally, even if the track is over height. The surface or run-
ning area of the bridge must be kept clean since otherwise smooth running of the roller car-
riage will be negatively affected.
The rail-bound vehicle describes an arc when rerailing.
For this reason, the bridge must be routed as precisely as possible in the direction of this
arc movement. Take account of the space requirement in the movement direction in order
to avoid having to relocate and avoid the associated complexity.
Rolling carriage
With single-sided movement of the rail-bound vehicle they describe a radius corresponding
to the length of the vehicle to be rerailed.
The rolling carriages are fi tted with removable Tefl on-coated slide plates.
These slide plates compensate this arc movement to a large extent if they are positioned
correctly.
The stop on the slide plate should be located on the outside of the arc in direction of travel
so that when the movement is to the inside, to the centre point of the arc, there is adequate
freedom for movement.
