A Continuous Gondola
Up to 11 Beam Capacity
High Speed Beam Unloading

The Beam Transfer System consists of a series of short gondolas (33 feet) without the end bulkheads. 28 ft. or 30 ft. pre-cast concrete bridge beams are set in place on a series of high capacity dollys.

A winch system at either end of the car provides the power needed to index the beams once at the work site.

Speed-Up Bridge Replacement

An empty Slot Machine on the opposite side of bridge can be used to receive old bridge components when removed.

 

 

Eliminate Work Windows

10 beams off-loaded in 1 hour and 50 minutes.
3 times faster than gondola-to-ground methods.
Fewer men in harm's way, too.

Eliminate Re-Handling

Separate car (gondola) shipments cause re-handling of each component. Keeping the shipment grouped in a larger consist allows for better planning of the work window.
