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 2 man rail cart 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.
