Railroad working platforms, also known for their reliability and versatility as lifting platforms, are perfectly suited for use on the rail network. Thanks to dual-mode technology, they can travel on both regular roads and rails. Due to the numerous country-specific differences in track dimensions, it’s best to simply get in touch with us. Our railroad work platforms are now available in numerous variants, including versions tailored to different track types.

The Railroad working platforms can be easily rail-mounted, enabling rail operation in just a few seconds. Smooth movements, appropriate telescoping speeds, and simple operation make the dual-mode platform an ideal piece of equipment.

Approved for use in: Germany , Austria, Switzerland, and Belgium (2020), as well as other countries through the Platform Basket dealer network (UK, Australia, France, and other countries upon request)

The railroad work platforms we offer used were previously part of our rental fleet. Accordingly, the dual-mode work platforms come with complete documentation and a well-maintained service history.

Italian Engineering Excellence

Commitment, reliability, and professionalism in the construction of aerial work platforms for railway maintenance MADE IN ITALY Commitment, reliability, and professionalism in the field of aerial work platforms have established the Platform Basket brand in the specialized sector of aerial work platforms for railway maintenance.

Platform Basket now offers extremely lightweight, maneuverable, and high-performance products that make it easy to perform maintenance work, reach the job site via road transport, and avoid blockages or delays on the railroad tracks.

Strict railway regulations are an integral part of the development of every new Platform Basket device. Certified products are now available for the major European and international railways.

Building on this success, Platform Basket now has a dedicated railway division that develops specialized work platforms for lifting people and equipment.

The company’s experience across various industries—including its specialization in tracked work platforms—has led the Emilia-Romagna (Italy)-based firm to develop a dual-mode work platform that is perfectly suited for track-side operations. The machines have been used in various parts of Europe and around the world.

Designed for operation on the rail network in accordance with European standards such as EN 15746, EN 280, EN 14363, and many others. Rigorous testing ensures the high quality of the machines.

Compliance with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, EN 280-2015, 2014/30/EC (EMC), EN ISO 12100:2010, EN 15746, and DB RIL 931

Any questions?

Our customers include companies involved in overhead line construction and maintenance, as well as municipalities, regional rail operators, and DB Bahnbau. Spitzke, the Berlin-based rail infrastructure company, already owns our railroad work platforms. Railpower Systems GmbH and Furrer+Frey from Switzerland are also close partners for our dual-mode platforms. Long-term rentals and purchases of our railroad equipment by our customers demonstrate that these machines are reliable and represent efficient investments.

Thanks to numerous optional extras ,the two-way vehicles can be customized to your specifications and open up a wide range of additional applications. Options include, among others: soot particle filters, a safe, an emergency power generator, custom paint, a pantograph, and much more! We’d be happy to provide you with information on all available options and advise you on the right equipment. Custom-made units are also no problem at all and can be handled by us.

We are certified for use on the German rail network. In collaboration with DB-Netz, our Railroad aerial work platforms have been in use on the Deutsche Bahn rail network for several years. Approvals are also in place in Austria and Switzerland, offering you flexible deployment options. We have been working with partners there for several years to enable you to use a rail-road lift.

In private settings—such as on private company premises—no additional authorization is required, of course.

The rail vehicles are available in 3 versions.

Standard version: diesel engine and electric motor
Electric: Electric motor and lead-acid battery drive
ED Hybrid: Diesel engine and lead-acid or lithium-ion battery drive

Operating a rRailway work platform is somewhat more complex than operating a street-use aerial work platform. To address this, we have developed an operator training program that not only provides an in-depth understanding of working at heights but also covers the technical specifics of the rail-road aerial work platform.

The topic of training for locomotive engineers is addressed separately. We can connect you with partners and training facilities for this purpose.
