[Plasser GP] TRAMM - Track Renewal And Maintenance Machine at Ribble

The vehicle consists of a self-propelled 4 wheeled tractor and trailer coupled together, with a driving cab at each end. At the rear of the tractor there is a hydraulic crane which can lift ¾ tonne at 6.5m radius or 2½ tonnes at 2m radius. Whilst the crane is being operated, it is possible to drive the machine from the crane cab. The TRAMM can carry 7 tonnes of materials loaded on the tractor unit, with a further 10 tonnes of materials on the trailer. Powered by a Rolls Royce 265 hp ‘Eagle’ 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine that drives a Twin Disc TDCM-511R powershift gearbox, which in turn drives both axles on the tractor unit through a differential splitter gearbox. A power take-off from the gearbox drives a vane type triple pump supplying the hydraulic pressure for the crane.
