In addition Clow can also provide bespoke maintenance equipment designed to suit specific tasks such as windscreen stands, door stands and temporary carriage door guardrail systems
Examples of solutions provided by the Clow Group include:
Carriage Roof Access
Bridging frames allow access from either side of a railway carriage while providing the minimum side clearance required at each side of a carriage. Mobile cantilevered stairways stands enable safe access to carriage roofs over side pits. Access to railway carriage roofs can be provided by means of fixed permanent walkways - this features a fully enclosed, retracxtable working area for maximum safety. Fold down edge platforms eliminate any gaps between the railway carriage and the walkway. An interlock system can prevent access and use until all live lines are isolated.
Pantograph Access Ladders
They are constructed from composite/fibreglass for safer working within areas where there is a risk of exposure to electrical power. One metre walk through stiles provide safer and easier access to the pan area. This ladder can also be used for access to roof mounted air conditioning units.
Locomotive Windscreen Access Platforms
Can be provided as bespoke access platforms for all classes of locomotive and can include buffer mounted platforms and nose end access platforms to accomodate different locomotive types.
