Our worshop equipment

 

Pits

 

Our testing centers are equipped with pits. It allow to work under trains :

 

  • For CEF1 (Valenciennes) : 2 pits in workshops (90m and 110m), and 2 external pits (15 m of length)
  • For CEF2 (Bar-le-Duc) : 1 pit in workshop (120m)

 


Roof access

 

In order to allow the roof access for power units, our testing centers are fitted with several equipment :

 

  • Corridors
  • aerial platform
  • mobile catwalks

 


Lifting columns

Both of testing centers are fitted with lifting columns which allow lifting the trains in order to realize some kind of operations (replacement of axle for example).


Crane

Our technical workshops are fitted with crane to handle heavy loads.
