Platform Basket RR 19/500 | Rail Boom Lift for safe work on railway tracks with lifting capacity up to 19 m and 500 kg, ideal for electrification, signalling and infrastructure maintenance

RR19/500 
Founded in 2005, Platform Basket offers reliable lifting platforms for railway applications, equipped with advanced drive and operating systems designed for safe and efficient movement and work on railway tracks.
Articulated boom lift for railway maintenance and railway network inspection by Platform Basket.

Powerful, manoeuvrable and safe, with a working height of up to 19 metres.

• Easy transport to the work site

• Compact design with high basket load capacity

• Self-levelling on railway tracks, compensating for cant up to 200 mm

• Fast transfer speed up to 19 km/h (up to 5 km/h with booms extended)

• Easy access to tracks via four steering wheels fitted with tyres

• Highly versatile and equipped with numerous accessories such as hydraulic generator, auxiliary engine, measurement pantograph, multiple gauges, remote diagnostics and geolocation

• Telescopic boom with no external hoses or cables

• Oscillating railway axle in both directions of travel

This model is the “big brother” of the current RR14/400, retaining the same key features such as a EURO V engine, auxiliary engine and independent hydrostatic transmission, while offering increased load capacity and a greater working height.

It is the ideal solution for operations at heights above 14 metres.

Thanks to its telescopic boom, the platform is extremely rigid and safe during operation. The three-person basket features an increased load capacity of up to 500 kg. Advanced engineering solutions include a main telescopic boom with all hoses and cables routed internally, eliminating external components exposed to impacts.

The all-wheel-drive transmission, combined with four steering wheels with tyres and four railway drive wheels, ensures excellent obstacle negotiation and outstanding performance in off-road conditions.

Automatic levelling

The platform can operate on tracks with cant of up to 200 mm, with automatic levelling of the turret and all aerial components, maintaining a perfectly level working position at all times.

Rotation

±180°, limited by mechanical pins and electric sensors, with status displayed inside the basket.

Engine

The platform is equipped with a 55 kW engine, compliant with stringent EU Stage V emissions standards, thanks to a DPF integrated into the exhaust system.

Lines inside the boom

An internal guide system within the telescopic boom allows hydraulic cylinders, hoses and electrical cables to be fully housed inside the structure, protecting critical components from external impacts and ensuring long-term reliability.

Driving camera

To enhance operator visibility, an optional camera and display can be installed, providing a clear view of the side opposite the aerial basket and facilitating precise alignment when entering the railway track.

Equipotential bonding

All platforms are fitted with large-section copper cables to minimise electrical resistance between the aerial basket and the railway wheels, ensuring full compliance with railway regulations worldwide.

Driver seat

On request, a fold-down driver seat can be installed to improve comfort during long transfer operations.
