The first rail car in the Rail-Veyor® system has a set of four wheels. The rest of the cars have two. This allows for a more articulatedAn articulated vehicle is a vehicle which has a permanent or semi-permanent pivoting joint in its construction, allowing the vehicle to turn more sharply. movement along the rail. |
The design of the rail cars allows for operation in an inverted position by use of a double set of parallel rails. This one innovation provides an extremely high availability for continuous loading and unloading using a roller coaster technology. Each rail car weighs less than three tonnes fully loaded. The car weighs approximately 0.68 mt and can hold one tonne of product. |
The low profile of the railcars offers a unique advantage to crossing roads and waterways. The Rail-Veyor system can travel where other applications cannot.
It can travel through narrow culvert openings with a size of 1.83 meters in diameter. A simple culvert with a construction road over top will allow the Rail-Veyor system to work effectively. |
Rail-Veyor® rail cars come in various sizes. 0.6, 0.76, & 0.91 meter trough widths design for underground applications and a 1.22 meter width rail car for surface applications
Safety

- Train safety and emergency stops are achieved through dedicated brake systems on the drive stations and trains when required.
- The system meets and exceeds Canadian Safety Association (CSA) braking requirements.
- Safety cables prevent detachment of cars;
- An alarm sounds at each drive station to signal on-coming an oncoming train;
