Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006117066A1] A process and device are disclosed for exchanging wheelsets of railway vehicles by means of a travelling unit, the railway vehicle being brought onto a supported track section. The invention addresses the problem of developing a structurally simple and economical wheelset-exchanging device which can be moved without its own drive and be used with all standardised track bridges and wheelsets in a polyvalent manner. The device should also be low-maintenance, operationally reliable and very stable. According to the invention, this problem is solved in that the supported track section (3) between two tracks comprises a working pit (2) in which a mobile wheelset exchanger (1) fits precisely in the area of an extendable standardised track bridge (4) by means of a mobile hoisting vehicle, preferably a fork lift truck. The mobile wheelset exchanger comprises one or more, preferably hydraulic, telescopic cylinders, the supported tracks comprise detachable standardised track bridges, and the standardised track bridges comprise a locking/unlocking structure (S) and an earthing device.
