Mobile hydraulic pullers HXPM

Dismounting train wheel with HXPM 100 ton and oilpressure

In this example a train wheel is removed using a combination of oil pressure and hydraulic pulling force. A high pressure pump (UHAP2800 Ultra) is used to create an oil film. Oil is pressed into the wheel bore and axle. Next, a hydraulic puller (HXPM 100ton) is applied. Due to the oil film the wheel is "floating" and pulling it off the axle is now an easy job, without damage to shaft or wheel bore.

 

This method is fast, efficient and practical to use in workshops for maintenance of rolling stock:  Locomotives, Trains, Trams and Metro.

 

BETEX hydraulic heavy duty pullers are available in all kinds of capacities and models, from 25-150 tons pulling capacity.
