Drop Tables
Systems for the removal and replacement of bogies, wheelsets, and traction motors without lifting the entire vehicle.
Freightquip supplies Drop Table Systems by Whiting, designed for the removal and replacement of bogies, wheelsets, and traction motors without lifting the entire vehicle. These systems are essential for rapid underframe servicing while keeping rail vehicles aligned on track.
Technical Overview:
Whiting Drop Tables feature capacities from 25 to 100 tonnes and can be configured as single-axle, twin-axle, or full bogie systems. Installed between running rails, these tables allow a vehicle to stop above the table platform, where the bogie or axle can be decoupled, lowered, and laterally transferred for maintenance. Systems include mechanical screw jacks or hydraulic lifts, with optional side-transfer traversers, automated control panels, and integrated locking for safety.
