Successful multi-brand order: Overhaul of two LORAM bogies from 1994

Overhaul of two LORAM bogies from 1994 for a customer from the Czech Republic

We are delighted to have recently successfully completed a challenging order to overhaul two LORAM bogies of the SPML 16-2 machine from 1994. This project underlines our expertise as a multi-brand specialist in the wheelset and bogie sector – we not only process ROBEL and Plasser & Theurer Export von Bahnbaumaschinen G.m.b.H. products, but also third-party brands.

HIGHLIGHTS
⚡ Few documents
Due to sparse documentation, we carried out a detailed inspection of the bogies in Prague in 2021.

⚡ Dismantling for spare parts
In summer 2023, the gearboxes were dismantled. These come from an American manufacturer that no longer exists and contain inch threads as well as American bearings and seals.

⚡ Extensive overhaul
The bogies were completely dismantled, stripped of paint, measured and checked for irregularities and NDT signs.
All add-on parts were thoroughly refurbished.

⚡ On-time delivery
Despite defective parts that had to be procured, we delivered the order on time.

KEY TO SUCCESS
⭐ Regular coordination
Through continuous communication with the customer, we were able to ensure that all steps were carried out transparently and efficiently.

⭐ Interim and final acceptance
Together with the customer, we carried out interim and final acceptance tests at our plant to ensure the highest quality.

Thanks to the successful implementation of this complex project, our customer has already placed further orders with us for their machines.

A big thank you to our dedicated team and our valued customer for their trust and excellent cooperation!
