MBL 1200 to Pakistan
In 2014 the Ministry of Pakistan Railways placed an order with MOOG for the delivery of an Under-Bridge Unit mounted on a Road/Rail chassis.
The unit was a bucket type MBL 1200 T, which perfectly met the requirements of the customer. A robust MAN TGS serves as the chassis and was equipped with a rail drive system. This Road/Rail system enables the customer to drive to near the operation site via the street and then to rail the unit close to where they need to work. The additional axle blocking also enables the complete functioning of the unit on standard roads. Thus this Under-Bridge Unit is a very versatile piece of equipment.
The dimensions of the MBL 1200 T emphasize its versatility while operating:
This bucket type unit has a working height of up to 16.0 m. If you are working under the bridge the machine has a horizontal range of up to 12.0 m and a maximum lowering depth of 15.5 m. The bucket offers more than enough working space with its 1.35 x 1.25 m and has a payload of 250 kg.
After the Final Acceptance by the customer at the MOOG premises in July 2015, the Under-Bridge Unit was shipped to Pakistan where it will be in operation on the bridges of the Pakistan Railways very soon.
