DC pantograph

Overview
The 2-pole charging pantograph is roof-mounted on electric buses and other vehicles to connect with existing trolleybus catenary or dedicated tram/trolley supply stations for battery charging and/or vehicle supply. The unit is pneumatically actuated and designed for customizable head width and installation dimensions.

Benefits for you
