  • Cooling systems for converters, transformers, traction motors, diesel engines, and similar

  • Mounting technology for pipes, cable guides, and tank clamping bands

  • Filtration for diesel, hydraulics, and hydrogen
  • Hydraulic accumulators and valve technology for hydraulic brake systems in light rail systems

Track-laying machines and track-maintenance machines

In rail transport, there are a large number of work, service, and special-purpose vehicles, for example track maintenance vehicles, track-laying machines, and railroad cranes. The entire rail transport system ultimately relies on these special vehicles. To avoid line closures or to end track-laying work as quickly as possible, individual vehicles and entire track-laying trains have become highly specialized.

As an experienced supplier, HYDAC supplies fully developed components and systems for operational safety and performance that have proved their worth over years of use by our customers. So that rail transport can operate smoothly and you can meet your project plan deadlines no matter what happens.

Contact us for solutions in:

  • Hydraulics and sensors for track-laying
  • Oil filtration for cleaning and de-watering
  • Cooling systems
  • Diesel filtration
