Rail Car Turntables and Traversers
Engineered to optimise the movement and alignment of rail vehicles within depots, workshops, and constrained yard spaces
Freightquip supplies custom-engineered Turntables and Traversers designed by Whiting to optimise the movement and alignment of rail vehicles within depots, workshops, and constrained yard spaces. These systems are essential where traditional track layouts limit operational flexibility, enabling precise redirection and repositioning of rolling stock for servicing or storage.
Technical Overview:
Turntables allow 360° rotation of rail vehicles or bogies around a fixed vertical axis and are available in manual or powered versions. Traversers (or transfer tables) enable lateral movement of rail vehicles across multiple parallel tracks using pit-mounted or surface-level rails. Systems are designed to accommodate high-torque drive motors, PLC control, and integrated safety systems including position sensors, locking mechanisms, and emergency stop functions. Both solutions are tailored to fit existing track gauges and facility footprints.
