FL 200 and FL 260 is a versatile contact line design incorporating hinged cantilevers. For speeds up to 200 kmph, we construct the catenary system without auxiliary line at the support. An auxiliary line is included if design speeds are higher. All our components are made exclusively of corrosion-resistant materials. The cantilevers can be produced in either aluminium or stainless-steel tubing. All the necessary standard parts are listed in our catalogue and the arrangement of assemblies is described in our assembly manual. CAD facilities are used to assist with planning.

  • More than 200 km of FL 200 have been constructed or planned for eight Swiss railway companies to date.
  • The Federal German Railways Office in Bonn has approved the overhead contact line systems FL 200 and FL 260 for use on the net of the DB AG.
  • The Railway Cert (EBC) granted us the certificate for interoperability in 2004.
