    1. Several methods are described for renewing railway switches, including using a multi-tasker machine to transport prefabricated switch panels from an off-site assembly area and install them, or using a switch tilter wagon to directly deliver panels. 2. One efficient method involves using a tracklayer machine to unload and install panels directly from tilted switch transport wagons near the installation site, requiring only one blocked track. 3. Advantages and disadvantages of different methods are outlined, such as the ability to store panels at various distances from the track, the number of tracks required, and speed of installation.

    1. MULTI TASKER WITH PANELS


    Pre-fabricated switch panels are transported by rail or road to
    site and unloaded the day before adjacent to the track. Alternatively the switch is built up in panels on an assembly place near
    the track, where the crane picks up the panels.
    Depending on access and site restrictions the unloading place
    can be at some distance from the old switch because the Multi
    Tasker travels easily with the panel over one km or more.
    After removing the old switch parts the crane has time to pick up
    the new switch parts from any distant unloading place while the
    ballast is exchanged, levelled and compacted.
    After the ballast is prepared the Multi Tasker inserts the switch
    panels within less than 30 minutes per panel including travelling.
    Old switch parts are slung with chains to speed up the process.
    New parts are slung with soft nylon straps that treat the switches
    very gently avoiting notches.

    4. TWO SMALL MULTI TASKER


    Same as 1. or 3. but working from adjacent track only.

    But with the special lifting beam that can adjust the centre of
    gravity valuable time is saved at the slinging process.

    3. MULTI TASKER WITH SWITCH TILTER


    The most efficient method: Pre-fabricated panels are directly delivered to site on Switch Tilter wagons. No intermediate loading
    and unloading is necessary. The loading deck of the Switch Tilter
    can be tilted. Such also wide panels can be transported which
    otherwise would be out of gauge.

    Usually normal lifting beams with chains or nylon straps are used
    to sling the switch panels and it can be difficult to find the centre
    of gravity.
    As a result the panel can hang inclined. The slinging process
    then has to be repeated until the panel hangs level.

    The prefabricated panels come with mounted drives and every


    installation prepared such that the switch is ready after laying by
    the crane. There is no intermediate loading and unloading, the
    panels come from the factory and are installed directly in the
    hole.

    The special Multi Tasker 250 have hydraulic attachments with


    rail clamping beams that can grab the old switch panels without
    any need for a slinger.

    With the special lifting beam the panel can be levelled by moving
    the centre of gravity. This mechanism can be activated by remote control or from the cabin. The slinging process is done in
    the shortest time possible.

    The installation process is very fast because the wagons can be


    parked near to the hole reducing travelling time for the crane.
    With a lifting beam with centre of gravity adjustment the switch
    laying is possible within 15 minutes per panel.

    2. MULTI TASKER WITH PANELS AND CENTRE OF


    GRAVITY ADJUSTMENT BEAM
    Main steps are the same as method 1.

    The two cranes can be used separately for taking out the old
    switch in breathtaking time because each crane can work from
    one end.

    When working with two cranes there are no issues with centre of
    gravity of the panels during lifting. The two small Multi Tasker can
    use the same lifting beam that come with the tilting wagons.

    5. TRACKLAYER FROM SIDE


    The Tracklayer can pick up the panel from any assembly place
    off the track. It can travel off road wherever required.
    The Tracklayer requires only one blocked track. The adjacent
    line can be kept open for traffic.
    After switch laying the Tracklayer can leave the track to the side
    in order to open the line for traffic.
    One panel is laid in less than 30 minutes depending on the travel distance.
    Due to the combination of steered crawler movement and side
    walking with the support legs the Tracklayer can move in any direction independent of the track.

    6. TRACKLAYER WITH TROLLEYS AND TRAVELLING


    ON RAIL
    In case the switch is built up on an assembly place which is distant to the site or the pre-fabricated panels could not be unloaded near the hole the Tracklayer has to transport these panels
    over a longer distance.
    Since the Tracklayer is travelling on its crawlers and has to be
    managed around obstacles by side stepping always a longer distance is better done with rail wheels.
    For that the Tracklayer can be equipped with foldable rail drives
    that allow the empty machine to travel on rail.
    The panel is placed on a trolley and transported to site.
    The Tracklayer can be equipped with a small loading crane and
    winches in order to manage the trolleys.

    7. TRACKLAYER WITH VR WAGON


    The most efficient method for working with the Tracklayer is the
    supply of the panels with tilting wagons right to the construction
    site and the unloading and laying of the switch panels with the
    Tracklayer in the following steps:
    - the sections are lifted off the wagons by the Tracklayer.
    - the wagon is pulled from underneath
    - the load is lowered
    - the Tracklayer moves with load to the installation point
    - puts the panel right in place and
    - moves back to the wagons to unload the next panel.
    This operation requires only one track. The travelling time is minimized.
    No unloading and storing process in between is necessary the
    switch is transported right from the switch manufacturer to site.

    The load is gently lifted under the main frame and there is no
    issue about centre of gravity or load swing. The panel can be
    placed easy, fast and accurately on the ground by only one operator that moves the machine by remote control while standing
    right at the joint of the two panels with perfect visibility at safe
    distance at the same time.

    The switch laying is usually done within less than 20 minutes per
    panel.

    + Panels can be stored or built up at whatever convenient
    distance along the track (up to 1 km no problem)
    - Panels need to be stored or built up at a reachable distance
    to the side from the track (5 to 15 m)
    + Crane can work on single line or on adjacent line. If panels
    are stored alongside the track only one track needed.

    + See 1. Multi Tasker with panels


    + Less people for slinging and much faster operation

    + Switch Tilter can be unloaded at whatever convenient distance


    along the track (up to 1 km no problem)
    - Two tracks needed for unloading Switch Tilter
