When the foldable rigid catenaries are retracted, they release needed space above the train to make all the necessary maintenance operations and make possible the use of gantry crane.

A HIGH LEVEL OF SECURITY
An interlocking management permits to work in secure conditions around the track, safety insured thanks to a perfect electric isolation, automation of all equipment, and declutching motor.

MAXIMUM IMPROVEMENT OF PRODUCTIVITY
In folded position, the system facilitates the roof access to operators. Thanks to a perfect synchronization with motorized jib arms, without shaking effects, the system is unfolded and supplies all voltages to rolling stock for moving or electrical tests.

A NATURAL INTEGRATION
The system allows to mix diesel and power supply rolling stocks on the same tracks, and guarantee a compatibility with exhaust fumes extraction hoods and gantry cranes.
