Abstract
An auxiliary railroad track lifting assembly for assisting conventional lifting grippers of a railroad track construction machine, especially a tamper, in lifting a switchgear unit includes a lifting device carried by an arm articulated, at its end remote from the lifting device, on a carriage movable along a rail fastened to the flank of the machine. The assembly permits displacement of the construction machine between at least two successive tamping position in the longitudinal direction of the track with the auxiliary assembly remaining stationary.
Claims20
An auxiliary railroad track lifting assembly to be mounted on a railroad track construction machine which has means for lifting a switchgear unit, said auxiliary assembly assisting the lifting means of the railroad track construction machine in lifting the switchgear unit and comprising at least one arm having a first and a second end;
- means pivotably attaching said first end to the construction machine;
- means secured as said second end for grasping and lifting a railroad track rail by bearing on a subgrade;
- and means for enabling displacement of the constructing machine at least between two consecutive tamping positions in an axial direction of the railroad track which said grasping and lifting means remains in place and for displacing the construction machine relative to said grasping and lifting means.
An auxiliary railroad track lifting assembly to be mounted on railroad track construction machine which has means for lifting a first track of a switchgear unit, said assembly comprising:
- at least one arm having first and second ends;
- linear guide rail means mounted on the railroad track construction machine at least approximately parallel to the axis of the first track of the switchgear unit;
- carriage means displaceable along said rail means;
- means pivotally attaching the first end of said arm to said carriage means;
- means secured at the second end of said arm for grasping and lifting a second track of the switchgear unit;
- and
- means for enabling displacement of the railroad track construction machine at least between two consecutive tamping positions at an axial direction of said first track which said grasping and lifting means remains in place on said second track.
