We are providing bespoke designings for a number of our customers always considering their special needs starting from concept to manufacturing. We do a product feasibility study, modelling and drawings, production on demand or supervisory of outsourced production. We will help to develop, execute tests and improve your existing machine or new concept.

We do also provide hydraulic solutions of drive and aerial arms installed on vehicle's, electrical systems and CE marking.

OUR MAIN SPECIAL TIES:

  • Automotive - vehicle's hydrostatic drives,
  • Mobile Elevating Work Platforms acc. to standard EN 280 - Mobile elevating work platforms. Design calculations. Stability criteria. Construction. Safety. Examinations and tests
  • Road-rail vehicles, rail drives EN 15746 - Railway - Track - Road-rail machines
  • Vehicle mounted machinery (work platforms, loader cranes)
  • Liftig machinery (EN 1493 - Vehicle lifts, EN 12999 - Cranes. Loader cranes, EN 13000 - Cranes. Mobile cranes)

Below, you can see a short summary, how road-rail machines are categorized by standard EN 15746 regarding to their construction

VEHICLE CALCULATOR

kalkulator pojazdowWe have issued 2-nd version of our excel calculation sheet for vehicle builders.

The sheet features:

  • database of a number of host vehicles;
  • custom host vehicle can be defined by user;
  • you can define your loads at specific positions on the vehicle;
  • you'll get calculated a center of gravity position and resultant load on front and rear axle;
  • warnings appears if the max allowed load is exceeded for the selected host vehicle.
