Passenger Rolling Stock Hoists

Passenger Rolling Stock Hoists: Whiting Lifting Equipment 

Whiting passenger rolling stock hoist systems are the safe solution when repairing light rail underbody and/or side components. Only Whiting hoists utilise a patented safety design to raise and lower rollingstock, reducing the possibility of incidents caused by sudden dropping of the elevated vehicle.

Passenger Rolling Stock Hoists raise the entire rolling stock body to a convenient height for worker access to underbody and side components. Utilising a time-tested mechanical screw and nut design, two or four screw designs are standard in capacity ranges up to 45 tonnes. Rolling stock can be raised individually, articulated, or in married pairs with hoists positioned under each bogie location.

Depending on your site needs, Whiting Passenger Rolling Stock Hoists can be custom engineered for deep or shallow pit configurations. An important feature of the electromechanical screw and nut design requires motor power to the Passenger Rolling Stock Hoists to both raise and lower, thus minimizing the possibility of inadvertent lowering of the hoist with personnel near the rollingstock.
