Maintenance pit for railway equipment
The maintenance of railway equipment - locomotives, wagons, metro or tramway trains - requires specific infrastructures adapted to the requirements of the sector. A railway maintenance pit allows technicians easy access to components located underneath vehicles, optimising maintenance and repair work.
At Xpertive®we design and install prefabricated steel pitsdesigned to meet the needs of railway workshops. Safe, robust and compliant with current standards, our pits make it easier to maintain rolling stock, while at the same time improving the quality of service. operator productivity and safety.
A railway pit adapted to the constraints of the sector
Railway workshops have to deal with vehicles of all sizes. long and very heavyThe maintenance pit is an essential part of the company's infrastructure. Unlike lifts or more complex installations, the maintenance pit offers direct, secure access to technical areas under the oars.
Our pits are designed for :
✔ Facilitate maintenance and inspection of under-body components (braking, bearings, electrical and hydraulic circuits)
✔ Optimising response time avoiding time-consuming handling
✔ Guaranteeing operator safety thanks to specially adapted equipment
✔ Integrate with existing infrastructure thanks to a tailor-made design
Our prefabricated pits allow rapid deployment while ensuring maximum longevityThis is made possible by the use of materials that are resistant to high levels of mechanical and environmental stress.
A pit adapted to all types of Rail Vehicles
Adapted to all types of vehicles running on rail (train, streetcar, wagon, locomotive, TGV etc...), our prefabricated pits are pre-equipped in the factory and ready to receive your rails.
A custom design that allows us to adapt to all technical specifications.
We adapt to the rail gauge according to the type of train used in your country.
Our maintenance pits are designed as standard for can withstand loads of up to 25 tonnes per axle and, on request, can withstand higher tonnages.
Advantages of our prefabricated steel pit
Whether it is for a construction project or for the creation of a bay in an existing building, our prefabricated technical pit solution (as for the garage pits dedicated to the maintenance of industrial vehicles) offers you many advantages :
The assurance of a perfect work tool delivered fully equipped and ready to use: LED lighting, striated floor and anti-slip stairs, integrated compressed air networks, rail for pit edge jack, pit bottom ventilation etc...
A pit that will allow your teams to work in optimal conditions for a better productivity.
Railway pit cover
Your pit can be secured with one of our pit protection systems:
>> either in flexible version (PVC sheet)
>> or in a rigid version (high resistance aluminium).

Strict compliance with current standards:
Pits conform to the recommendations for comfort and safety at work as well as for the environment. Your workshop pit is certified 100% watertight (with a wastewater recovery system at the bottom of the pit) to avoid any risk of soil pollution and potential rising groundwater.
Major advantage : A simple and fast installation of your rails
Our pits will be delivered to you with holes tapped to the required diameter, ready to receive the bolts of anchoring of your rails.
>> A time of installation considerably reduced compared to a concrete pit: you will only have to bolt your rails to fix them with flags on each side of the pit
>> Vou won't no holes to be drilled in the slab: no risk fall into the reinforcement of the workshop floor
