A road-rail or a two-way vehicle is a shunter that’s capable of switching from moving on road to rail whenever needed. This capability comes in useful when there are rail-tracks on an industrial site and no connections between them, or when the connection is far away and moving on road would be faster.
This safe, modern, and user-friendly locomotive could be custom made. The rail-road vehicle is assembled from standard components. Due to this modular construction, capacity, speed and traction will be specially customized in many variations.

Shunting vehicles have been provided with a hydrostatic or hydrodynamic drive mechanism with diesel engine, electric or hybrid drive mechanism.
The shunting locomotives can be operated manually, or by the radio remote control. The diagonal ergonomically designed control panel, in combination with broad view on all sides from the cabin compartment ensure the safe operation of the machine. All components are controlled by a well-balanced operating system.
Different types of shunting vehicles are:
- Electrical shunting vehicles
- Diesel shunting vehicles
- Rail-Road shunting vehicles
- Remote controlled shunting vehicles
We supply shunting vehicles with different tractive powers to support loads ranging from 200 tons to 4800 tons according to the end-user requirements.
Technical possibilities
Shunting
• Variable speed control from “0
• Smooth initiation with standard slip limit thanks to absence of peak forces.
Operation
• Standard locomotive control, specifically designed to use under heavy-duty
• Temperature– and tremble-resistant
• Both manually and radio remote controlled, if required with explosion proof encapsulation.
• Accelerating and braking locked to fixed curves, which results:
- Very steady behavior (reaction) of the shunter
- Incorrect control is virtually impossible.
Environmental and health and safety legislation
• Lower background noise level
• Low fuel consumption
• Clean diesel engines
• Electric or hybrid drive
• Ergonomic accessibility for operating and servicing
Safety
• Emergency buttons provided on all sides of the machine, especially together with radio remote
• Built-in gas detection integration control unit, when employed in Ex-zones (optional)
• Increased security due to additional proximity/reflection switches (optional)
• Vast overview from the cabin
Control
• One man operated
• Simple operating system
• Clear graphic display and user-friendly for operating status and maintenance (HMI /GUI)
Mechanics
• Standard prime quality components used, like A-class engines.
• Overall sprung axle suspension with fully closed redactors, resulting in:
- Reducing damage to switches
- Reducing the danger of derailmentLong technical lifetime
- Short delivery times on parts
Maintenance
• Easy to maintain, no special lubrication pit required
• In-house technical service would suffice for performing daily maintenance.
• Intervals are founded as optimally as possible, reckoning on the appliance.
Shunting couplers
• Every kind of shunting couplers contained
• Every associated adapter
• Automatic or non-automatic
Pneumatic installations
• Supplied with pneumatic installation for (wagon) brakes.
• To control various components.
• Compressor output, tank capacity and version, in keeping with the utilization of the locomotive, are selected according to the use of the locomotive.
Track gauge
• Standard 1435mm track gauge
• Wide and narrow-gauge possibility
• Worldwide applicable
