Physical Support for Vehicle Tests & Ballasting
Trimova is a proud operational partner of the Stadler Rail Group. When new trains, trams, or locomotives are tested for approval, extreme passenger and payloads must be simulated inside the vehicle. We provide the external manpower to keep these critical test phases running smoothly.
Our team takes over the heavy, manual loading and exact positioning of test weights (sandbags, water tanks, steel blocks) directly in the vehicles. This guarantees that highly paid test engineers and technicians can focus 100% on the measurement data, braking, and structural tests, without wasting valuable time on heavy physical labor.
Project Details & Scope
The tight schedules on test tracks and in production halls require absolute punctuality and reliability. Our industrial helpers work hand-in-hand with Stadler's test engineers. We adapt flexibly to test windows and shift schedules to reduce vehicle downtimes to an absolute minimum.
Trimova Standards On-Site
Our working methods in rail technology:
- Precise positioning of test weights according to axle load specifications.
- Strict adherence to HSE and factory safety standards.
- Massive time relief for the test engineers.
- Flexible teams for quick changeovers between test cycles.
Care is especially important when handling massive test weights in the often cramped interiors of rail vehicles. Our team is trained to strictly avoid scratches or damage to the new interior fittings while safely placing the weights.
With our reliable manpower right at the interfaces of the testing departments, we help Stadler Rail to complete approval procedures efficiently, safely, and within the planned timeframe.
