KZV Rail Corrugation Measuring Trolley, Model GEKON

GEKON is a measuring equipment designed for contactless corrugation measuring of both vignol and grooved rails. GEKON can be used for evaluation of railhead surface microgeometry evaluation.

GEKON allows to measure continuously or per sections. Measurement results can be compared with EN 13231-3 standard.

GEKON is composed of manually driven trolley and measuring computer, which serves as a data-logger and it can also evaluate the measured data. Trolley is light and compact. It can be removed from the track and returned back within seconds. Measurement can be done on an operated track.

KZV Krab Heavy Weight Railway Track Geometry Trolley, Model 84.09

This classic measuring trolley has been presented on a railway market for many years. Its robust construction and average weight of 67 kg makes it perfect for hand-pushed measuring as well as for occasional coupling with a railway vehicle. Approved by DB/NETZE

On-board computer i.e. the Controller which collects the daya using KrabDroid Android Application, has enough memory to record unlimited track geometry data i.e. even more than 50000 Kms of Track.

The trolley has versatile adjustable nominal gauge in wide range as an option (for example 760mm-1,676mm). Suitable for Indian Standard (1435 mm Gauge) or Broad (1673-1676 mm Gauge)

KRAB can measures the following :-

  • Gauge
  • Alignment (vertical alignment)
  • Top (vertical alignment)
  • Cant (inclinometer)
  • Quasi-twist (directly measured)
  • Longitudinal slope (optional)
  • Distance run (rotary encoder)
  • Measuring speed

Attachments:-

  • KrabCamera for continuous track picture
  • Long arm for measuring of long chords (over 10m) or long waves (up to 70m)
  • External differential GNSS receiver
  • Rail profile scanner for rail wear
  • Attachment to measure Rail Turn Outs/ Points & Crossings

KZV Krab Railway Track Geometry Trolley, Model S-Light

Krab S-light is designed with a focus on low weight and easy operation. The measurement speed is limited to approximately 15km/h. The trolley weights around 30kg, only one operator is capable of taking it away from the track.

On-board computer i.e. the Controller which collects the daya using KrabDroid Android Application, has enough memory to record unlimited track geometry data i.e. even more than 50000 Kms of Track.

The trolley has versatile adjustable nominal gauge in wide range as an option (for example 760mm-1,676mm). Suitable for Indian Standard (1435 mm Gauge) or Broad (1673-1676 mm Gauge)

KRAB can be equipped by several add-on devices, including:

  • KrabCamera for continuous track picture
  • Long arm for measuring of long chords (over 10m) or long waves (up to 70m)
  • External differential GNSS receiver
