Mobile vertical rail straightener

MVP120 - Vertical rail bender (Hydraulic bending press)

The mobile vertical press (MVP120) is a patented hydraulic bending press designed for straightening rails, correcting misalignment of rail-joints vertically after flash-butt welding.
This hydraulic rail bending press is perfect for customers looking for high efficiency and with limited rail track access.

Standard specifications:
Weight: 500 Kg
Power : 1,2 Kw
Pressing Force in both directions: 1 200 KN (120 Tons)

Advantages of the VFC hydraulic rail bending press:
The press re-straighten rails or welds on all track types (ballasted, concrete), without the need to remove the ballast.
The hydraulic bending press corrects rails misaligment or welds misalignment even if the weld is located above a sleeper and without having to lift the rail.
You will save time because the number of clips to unclip is very limited to use the rail straightening machine.
The rail bender integrates a laser measuring system to save time and giving optimum precision for the operator (optional).
This rail straightener can be used easily in tunnels thanks to its led screen and to the press narrow design.
Quick reading of the rail-joint straightness by operator before double checking with a rail straight edge for checking alignment of the rail sections.

Options/versions:
Verification of the rail sections by Laser measuring system with PLC.
Manual pump or electrical hydraulic group or thermic engine hydraulic group.
Gantry crane to allow transport from rail-joint to rail-joint, the gantry is dismountable and therefore can be transported by 2 persons.
Self-proppelled cart for a quick access to the rail track.
Exist also as fixed design of the rail bender for your workshop.
