Advanced MEWP integration

GKD Rail has been built to support the safe use of Road Rail Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWPs). It is fully approved for use on Adjacent Line Open (ALO) and Overhead Line Equipment (OLE) operations.

How it works

While a machine is moving, GKD Rail will protect the machine from moving into unsafe positions.

The system monitors the boom position, slew, gradient, rail cant, and axle lock configuration.

It also allows for the setting of safe working parameters for machine rotation and boom height and will only allow movements within the preset safe working zone.
