Loading protection equipment

Our loading protection equipment provides the safety interlocking between rail traffic and loading operations at the transhipment points of industrial sites.

The principle is that starting the loading and moving the train are made mutually exclusive: loading can only start once rail traffic has been excluded in accordance with the local conditions, and rail traffic can only be started once loading has ended in a controlled way and the loading equipment has been safely locked.

Our equipment checks these conditions and gives the appropriate indications, operating permissions and authorisations. It

• operates and monitors railway and loading signals
• detects the end position of points and locks them
• monitors and locks gates and track-closing barriers
• monitors and locks loading machines in their locked position

Our installations are designed individually, but the equipment family is uniform in its design and in many of its components.
