Inclino sensors in aerial platform for rail infrastructure

To ensure the safety of its rail-infra aerial platforms, Koerts Techniek equips its machines with dynamic inclinometers from DIS. In real time, these sensors accurately measure the angle of the arm that supports the work platform. What’s more, the angle measurement is unaffected by shocks and vibrations caused by moving the base vehicle. Essential maintenance on rail infrastructure, such as overhead contact cables, is often performed from an aerial platform. This machine is essentially a bimodal road-rail vehicle carrying a movable boom, that in turn supports a work platform from which maintenance personnel can perform their work. For the safety of personnel, the aerial platform must be stable at all times, and that means: continuously monitoring the tilt of the boom.
