OUR KITCHEN

Our Offering

A range of dual-mode / road-rail (RR) vehicles and machinery designed for railway infrastructure, maintenance, and construction of tracks, tunnels, and Overhead Catenary Systems (OCS)ת including: ballast regulators, tamping machines, hydraulic aerial work platforms, backhoe loaders, dump trucks, concrete mixers, utility vehicles, and railway cranes.

A versatile line of self-propelled, tracked aerial work platforms designed for high-reach tasks in restricted or uneven access areas. Characterized by their rubber-tracked undercarriage and extending stabilizer legs (outriggers), these compact lifts combine low ground pressure with exceptional stability on delicate indoor surfaces, soft terrain, or steep slopes.

A range of electromechanical systems, specialized machinery, and tools for rolling stock maintenance and repair, including: mechanical jacks, bogie drop tables, turntables, automatic wash plants, sand filling systems, inspection and work platforms, diagnostic equipment, and rail shunters.

WHAT'S NEW

Our Partners

Platform Basket S.r.l. is an Italian manufacturer based in Reggio Emilia, specializing in the design and production of compact, high-performance aerial work platforms (MEWPs).

Core Product Lines:

Spider Lifts (Tracked Platforms): Self-propelled crawler lifts featuring rubber tracks and articulating outriggers. With working heights ranging from 13 m to 54 m, they feature low ground pressure, ultra-compact stowed profiles, and hybrid or zero-emission lithium battery options for indoor and outdoor use.
Rail-Road (RR) Access Platforms: A dedicated railway division producing bi-modal road-rail platforms certified under strict European railway standards (e.g., EN 280, RIS-3279-TOM). Equipped with self-leveling systems and optional overhead line (OCS) measurement pantographs, these units are purpose-built for track and catenary maintenance.
Telescopic & Articulated Boom Lifts: Compact wheeled platforms designed for facility management, industrial plants, and municipal maintenance.

DRIVING CAMERA
In order to improve driver visibility, it is possible to install an optional video camera and display to provide an improved view of the side opposite the aerial basket. This also facilitates alignment with the track when the platform enters the railway.

RAILWAY LIFTING JACKS
The SCM railway lifting jacks are often analyzed and personalized of specific client requirements.
Our railways mobile lifting jacks are available in different standard models depending on the lifting capacity, starting from 5,5 Ton to 50 Ton.
SCM series columns can be configured from 4 to 64 columns, with fixed or movable anvil.

In conformity with MACHINE DIRECTIVE 2006/42/CE and approved according to the European EN 1493.

CS – TEMPORARY RAILWAY BOGIES
The CS is temporary – dummy railway bogie which runs on rails, necessary for supporting railcars in case the train bogies are missing.
They are also used for moving railcars during manufacturing processes, long term maintenance periods, as auxiliary elements in depots and track construction.
The temporary – dummy bogies are personalized to the specific client requirements.

EMANUEL is an Italian engineering and manufacturing company headquartered in Turin, specializing in heavy-duty lifting equipment for the railway, automotive and industrial assembly sectors.

Core Product Lines:

Synchronized Railway Lifting Jacks (SCM Series): Mobile and fixed electromechanical lifting columns designed for elevating whole trainsets, locomotives, trams, and passenger cars. Configurable from 4 up to 64 synchronized columns with load capacities ranging from 5.5 to 50 tonnes per column.
Bogie Drop Tables (CSF Series): Precision drop table systems that run on floor tracks, allowing depot personnel to remove, swap, and service rolling stock bogies and wheelsets without decoupling entire train formations.
Bogie & Wheelset Turntables (BTT & WTT): Custom workshop turntables designed to redirect heavy rolling stock components and streamline depot maintenance workflows.
Temporary / Dummy Bogies (CS Series): Auxiliary rail bogies used to support and move car bodies during structural repairs, long-term maintenance, or new vehicle assembly when active operational bogies are removed.
