Stinger Systems
By using Wabtec´s stinger systems the movement of trams and metro trains in maintenance- and servicing areas is possible without a switch engine. The energy transmission between the railway vehicle and the stinger system is effected by plug connection. Take control of the vehicle via specific control panels. Acc. to customer’s requirements we produce and install complete systems incl. main control cabinets, conductor lines, spring-driven cable reels, connection cables, control equipment as well as protective devices for protection of humans and materials, and railway plugs.
