Tver Carriage Works (TVZ, part of Transmashholding) has strengthened its winter cleaning equipment - the enterprise has received a new POM-1 snow removal machine.
The new equipment will significantly speed up the cleaning of production and adjacent areas from snow and ice, ensuring uninterrupted movement of personnel and transport between workshops even in conditions of heavy snowfall.
Among the key characteristics of the updated equipment:
- High productivity - the machine is equipped with a wide blade and is able to effectively remove even dense snow cover of significant thickness.
- Increased mobility - self-propelled with two speed modes, the ability to be towed as part of a railway train and confident operation on slopes.
The snow removal machine is designed taking into account the specifics of industrial enterprises. It is equipped with a reinforced frame, a reliable hydraulic system for controlling attachments and frost-resistant electronics that are resistant to temperature changes. The design of the equipment ensures high cross-country ability on snowy surfaces, and the ergonomic operator cabin ensures comfort and safety during long work in difficult weather conditions.
ПОМ-1 is a track cleaning machine for mechanized cleaning of tracks from snow and spills inside the factory railway tracks of 1520 mm gauge. Also known as "Veterok".
