Developed using the
successful MEC-4 splitting cart technology, the
MEC-2 electric track trolley is a cost effective
method of performing rail inspections and also
for transporting 2 people and their equipment
for track maintenance. This rail
cart, capable of transporting 2 people is part of a family of equipment that
shares common components and concepts to combine
flexibility of units with reduction in capital
expenditure. For example, the front half of the
MEC-2 is the same as the front half of the
MEC-4, which allows two different types of
vehicle to be created using only three major
components, one common front half and two
different rear halves. Each half of the
unit is small enough to enable easy movement
through areas where space is restricted, and the
mechanical interlocking system allows quick and
safe assembly on site.
The MEC-2 and MEC-4 track
vehicles have been designed to ensure a long
operational life cycle. The units combine
simplicity of design with ease of servicing
which allows for a low through life cost. The
equipment has been stress tested, using finite
element analysis, for a design life of 15 years.
The use throughout of aluminium has ensured that
weight is kept as low as possible which negates
any corrosion issues and allows for ease of
transportation with multiple units being able to
be shipped on a single road trailer
 towed
behind an average car.
