Railways Maintenance

Railway represents the very first mass transport system before the coming of the car in the XIX century.
The invention of the first steam locomotive and of what now is called “train” marks the passage between two ages: it is the symbol of the past progress, of the First Industrial Revolution, of the Italian Novecento.
At the beginning, it was born from the need to faster transport the coal from the British mines to the harbours. Today, the train has lost its commercial vocation for specializing on the mobility of people.

High speed trains represent the last frontier of rail transport. Train management companies are expanding their traditional business, offering more competitive alternatives to car or plane: by managing longer routes which can be completed in few hours, they are trying to enlarge their target.

It is increasingly important to promote a sustainable mobility as in the case of rail transport:
through technologically advanced machines and a proper maintenance planning it is possible to keep railway lines clean and efficient,
to ensure the safety of workers and travelers.

Mowing the grass with a combination of a hydrostatic machine together with a powerful tools-carrier robot helps not only
to reduce the use of chemical pesticide but also to maximize productivity.

Travelling by train is a safer option than the road where the risk of a car accident is much higher; moreover, it is a green alternative, since it is the most environment friendly way of transport compared to car or plane where CO₂ releases in the air can reach double in case of a flight.

As the railway network run throughout different kind of territories, it is important that the various lines are carefully maintained and preserved, to avoid problems to the safety of travellers or to the trains themselves. It is essential to carry out a scrupulous control on the vegetation surrounding the tracks to prevent fire risk, ensure the visibility of the path and signs, reduce the risk of trees falling on the line which can lead to heavy costs for companies and to disease or delays for passengers.
A proper maintenance and prevention help to ensure a longer life for technical and mechanical apparatus, reduces maintenance costs due to extraordinary or emergency interventions.
Maintenance work can be carried out by mechanical equipment: by cutting green areas it is possible to keep the vegetation under control and to preserve safety standards.
Railways run throughout different kind of territories such as valleys or mountains, coasts, urban centers, or country yards. In addition, the territory can present a series of architectural structures such as galleries, crossings, bridges, underground passages.
All of this requires the equipment to be versatile and dynamic depending on the situation. The ideal solution is a machine that can operate in reduced space, on steep slopes and that can be equipped with different tools to face the different characteristics of grass or wood.

Train and railways have shaped the landscape of the last two centuries, passing from a commercial and industrialization purpose to a daily transport of people.
Beside its longevity this transport system has continued to evolve and adapt over time for becoming today the most environmentally friendly alternative to car or plane, a feature that has made it the perfect candidate for the mobility of the future.
