HÜBNER provides support throughout the entire life cycle of gangway systems and other rail technology components – for high-speed trains, regional trains, light rail vehicles and trams.
Service life and maintenance of gangway systems
Gangway systems are among the most highly stressed and intensively used components of a rail vehicle. Factors such as route profile, climate, operating hours and the quality of maintenance have a direct effect on when gangway overhaul will become necessary. Regular maintenance reduces the occurrence of unplanned downtimes and ensures that safety and passenger comfort are guaranteed at all times.
HÜBNER – Your partner
for refurbishment solutions
While rail vehicles often remain in service for 30 to 40 years, gangway systems – the flexible connections between the cars – must typically be overhauled or replaced after approximately 10 to 15 years. This is due to the high levels of stress they are continually exposed to.
To meet this challenge, HÜBNER offers comprehensive refurbishment solutions independent of the original gangway manufacturer. These solutions cover everything from analysis and planning through to implementation for high cost-efficiency and maximum sustainability. Our Service team supports customers worldwide with maintenance, refurbishment and replacement services for lasting safety, comfort and efficiency.
