First Units of Terberg RR283 Road Rail Tractor Delivered
The first units of the new RR283 Road Rail Tractor have been supplied to ZAGRO Bahn- und Baumaschinen GmbH where the rail components are fitted. The RRs are mostly sold through ZAGRO, who have the required railway industry expertise. The most visible difference compared to the previous model is that the RR283 is fitted with basically the same cab as the YTxx3 enabling Terberg to reduce the development time of the new model and giving the operator a comfortable working environment. The units can also travel between shunting yards on the public roads, which is much more convenient than having to arrange track access. Another advantage is that the rubber tires give great traction on the track.
Because the RR283 has a much lower weight than a conventional locomotive with steel wheels, the fuel consumption is lower. Finally, using standard automotive components where possible instead of specialist railway components reduces the maintenance costs. “The first 2 RR283s of the order of 5 for Romania have already been delivered to the customer and taken into service. The first was equipped with a rail guide which makes it possible to adjust the standard track of 1435 mm to 1520 mm at the push of a button using hydraulic adjustment of the rail axles. This means that both rail networks can be used in the border area between Bulgaria and Ukraine. The second RR283 was delivered with a gauge of 1435 mm for the rail network in Bulgaria. ZAGRO has already received further orders with the southern widths of 1435 mm, 1668 mm and 1520 mm from Austria, Portugal and Azerbaijan,” said Peter Wirth, Zagro sales director.
