Carriage Guidance

Talgo, a leading company in the design, manufacture and maintenance of railway equipment, required a range of cranes for its Rivabellosa manufacturing plant. Jaso, as part of a turnkey project, installed 8+8t doublegirder cranes with spans of 23.5m, and 1t jib cranes with 4m arms, as well as 40t, 19m-long travelling cranes.

At the second project, Spain’s national Railway Infrastructure Administrator (ADIF) introduced a 2-4-2 type rail-mounted portal container crane at its logistical centre at Irún, to modernise the loading and unloading logistics system for international traffic.

Jaso supplied the Irún facility, the central border hub with France, with a doublerail gantry crane fitted with capacity of 40t below the spreader, for handling 20ft, 30ft and 40ft containers and standardised movable boxes.

The system was the best way to meet requirements for safety and height, said Jaso, and all operations can be controlled from a cabin, improving the view of the operator. Jaso provided all areas of manufacturing, painting, supply, transportation, installation, assembly, operating and testing
