Services

Funicular | Maintenance Services for Systems

Funicular line maintenance includes the periodic inspection of rails, cables, switches, and drive equipment to ensure the safe and uninterrupted operation of the system. During the maintenance process, wear, alignment, and lubrication checks are carried out; potential failures are identified and rectified before they occur. Regular maintenance enhances passenger safety while ensuring operational continuity.

Maintenance Machines

KDA | Mobile Sand Fillin System

In railway operations, maintaining optimal wheel-rail adhesion is critical for both safety and performance. Sanding systems play a key role in improving traction, braking efficiency, and overall operational reliability, particularly in challenging rail conditions such as wet, icy, or contaminated tracks.
