The UK-25/25 track-laying crane (produced at the «Kaluga Plant of Track Machines and Hydraulic Drives») entered the Book of Records for the rapid laying of the rail-sleeper grid on the Baikal-Amur Mainline.
The track-laying works took place from October 27 to 28 of this year on the legendary railway line. In just one day, 8.1 km of the second track was laid from the Tynda station to the Pobojei crossing in the Amur Region.
The self-propelled track-laying crane performs work on laying and dismantling the railway track with 25 m long and 25 t heavy sections. The model has a number of advantages:
- Modified grippers — provide remote control of the fixation of the working positions of the grippers.
- Two closed work stations (controlled via stationary consoles, located on both sides of the crane boom).
- Remote radio control panel — allows you to control the cargo equipment and move the track-laying crane.
- Video cameras and monitors — allow you to monitor the main technological operations.
- Crane running trolleys with automatic spring suspension cut-off drives — provide remote control of spring unloading.
- Diagnostics system — allows you to track the condition of the crane's working components.
