The track panel lifting beam is a specialist lifting device designed for the installation and removal of railway track panels on construction sites. CIPAL designs and manufactures it to order to meet the specific constraints of track renewal and railway infrastructure maintenance works. It thus ensures precise and safe handling of track panels, without any manual intervention at load level.
Its design incorporates attachment interfaces adapted to the geometry of track panels. The lifting beam distributes forces evenly across the entire panel to prevent any deformation of the structure. It integrates directly onto a crane, hydraulic excavator or overhead travelling crane depending on the site configuration. A rotator option furthermore enables precise positioning of the panel along the track, without moving the carrier equipment.
This type of equipment suits both track renewal operations and railway maintenance works on SNCF, RFN and tramway networks. Its robust design and intuitive controls make it a reference tool for companies working at intensive output on railway tracks.
The engineering department sizes each lifting beam according to the specific constraints of the application. It takes into account the type of lifting equipment, frequency of use and the operating environment. Every unit is delivered with a complete technical file: operating instructions, structural calculations and CE marking.
