2023 Brandt Maintenance Vehicle

Brandt Road Rail Corporation is known for designing, manufacturing, and commissioning unique rail equipment that enables our customers to do their jobs more efficiently. The Self Powered Hybrid Maintenance Vehicles we designed built and commissioned for BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) in California is one such vehicle with many unique characteristics enabling our customers to be more efficient. The vehicle is used to maintain and inspect transit track, tunnel environments, and bridges to ensure safe travel for passengers.

The unit is very efficient, being powered by a 600HP diesel with a hydraulic electronic controlled hydrostatic drive system. The vehicle can also be completely electrically powered with batteries lasting a minimum of 4 hours, this greatly reduces the amount of emissions produced and fuel consumed.

The Self Powered Hybrid Maintenance Vehicle is capable of safely moving railcars along the track due to its couplers and train air brakes. Brandt designed this maintenance vehicle with flexibility in design in mind. The vehicle has been designed to be adaptable to very tight clearance envelopes and various track gauge depending on the transits requirements. The maintenance vehicle will help you properly and safely maintain your railway system.

Features may include:

• The Self Powered Hybrid Maintenance Vehicle was built with a 600 horsepower hydrostatic drive system enabling travel with or without railcars in both directions. The power from the hydrostatic drive allows it to move railcars safely along the track. With its ample horsepower it is guaranteed to get you to the jobsite in a timely manner, maximizing the amount of time spent working on site.

• The Maintenance Vehicle brings with it a 40 foot open deck area that can be used for hauling equipment. This ample amount of space will allow the work crew to bring any equipment they need to the jobsite without worrying about running out of space.

• Easy service of the off the shelf locomotive batteries is allowed by including easy to remove panels that provide access to the battery compartment. This easy access point will minimize the amount of time spent on maintenance work on the batteries.
