Overview Italcarrelli rubber-tyred rail vehicle transborders are an advanced off-track alternative to conventional rail-mounted transfer cars. Designed for handling wagons, railcars and locomotives in depots, workshops and maintenance facilities, they combine multidirectional steering, bogies with integrated lifting and radio remote control to perform precise positioning, pitching and transfer operations without fixed rail infrastructure.
Main usage sectors- Railway: depots, workshops, maintenance yards and industrial sites handling rolling stock
Key capabilities and features- Rubber-tyred, multidirectional transfer system for off-track handling of wagons, railcars and locomotives
- Radio remote control for safe operator-remote manoeuvring
- Bogies with integrated lifting systems enabling precise pitching and positioning
- Semi-automatic DGPS rail alignment systems (optional)
- Advanced safety sensors: scan laser, AI cameras and radar
- Customizable load platform: winches, rain protection frames, foldable rails, load securing devices
- Active safety systems for operations in areas shared with personnel
Motorization options- Electric: AC traction motors with lithium batteries — suitable for indoor use or emission-restricted sites, high energy efficiency
- Internal combustion: diesel/gas engines (Deutz available) — suited to outdoor use, long travel distances and intensive duty cycles; emission reduction systems available
