On modern, multiple unit trains, important equipment is often located on the roof; this shifts much of the maintenance work from the train inspection pit to the roof. A movable overhead conductor rail is the perfect solution to provide enough space for this and, most importantly, to create a safe working environment for the employees.

At the Dhaka Mass Transit depot in Bangladesh, we successfully installed our globally tried-and-tested system and its accompanying control system on two tracks. An overhead conductor rail with two sections, which can be swivelled against the wall one after the other, has been installed on both tracks. The system can be controlled from an operation panel on each track. The central control cabinet is also equipped with a touchscreen that provides real time information about the system state and displays helpful messages in case of any failure.

The commissioning was successfully completed on site in a brief but intensive mission and our specialist team has since returned home with some exciting cultural experiences under their belt.
