Train bogie test system

Proper and cost-effective maintenance of train bogies is important for the safety, longevity and smooth performance of any train. The BogieMS™ is an indispensable instrument for precise measuring of critical parameters of bogie axles, wheels and flanges, as well as dynamic weight-load distribution simulation tests on wheels and axles.

IBEG's BogieMS is available in above floor, below floor and pit installations. Advantages include:

• Maintains original bogie manufacturer's specifications
• Dramatically increases vehicle safety and cost savings in bogie maintenance through early problem detection
• Reduces risk of liability litigation for transit authority and its maintenance staff

High-efficiency sanding systems

The use of IBEG's highly accurate sand dosage and sand flow control systems improves wheel/rail adhesion. The systems help overcome slip conditions on the rail head caused by ice, water, snow, pollen or foliage in an eco-friendly environment.

IBEG's V-STREAM sanders have proven themselves to be reliable and easily maintainable products with satisfied customers worldwide. Advantages include:

• Fast response for sand dispense to W/R (<0.6s)
• Cost savings through very low sand consumption
• Low sensitivity to variations in sand quality
• Self-contained system includes air supply
• No moveable parts, meaning low maintenance costs

Handicap ramps, bridge plates and movable steps

IBEG's ramps are designed to allow easy access for passengers with wheelchairs, walkers, or strollers. IBEG's unmatched high product quality is known for functionality and deployment speed, as well as reliability and safety for users and operators. Furthermore, the ramps are easy to install, maintenance-free and available with an extremely low profile height for installation on top of existing floor constructions.

IBEG's bridge plates close the gap between commuter rail cars and station platforms, providing an advanced safety feature.

Handheld rail wheel measurement system

The handheld Wheelcheck® allows vehicle maintenance crews to easily and accurately track a fleet's wheel wear and tear, thus allowing for proper maintenance and any wheel / rail corrections required.

Professional mobile video recording system

IBEG provides a complete mobile video system with four high-resolution mini cameras for simultaneous recording in places that are not easily accessible. It is ideal for recording videos for documentaries, engineering analysis, maintenance diagnostics, non-destructive testing, surveillance, educational purposes and overall problem solving.

Driver's-cab and passenger-area heating systems

IBEG supplies heating and ventilation systems for passengers' compartments which can be easily mounted without additional electrical installation. The ventilation and heating unit forms a fully enclosed compact group that can be fitted under the seats. The system is also used as an additional heating and ventilation system for the driver's cabin.

Mechanical and electrical driver footrests

Adjustable footrests help to accommodate drivers of different heights, to avoid compromises in the driver's line of sight.
