TPA has announced that a RRAP that can be installed by hand rather than machine has proven popular with the firm’s rapid rail access customers.
The TAMS V-RAM temporary RRAP is designed to save time spent waiting for power to be isolated to avoid plant conflicting with overhead lines. TPA said the time saving enabled by the product is estimated to be approximately one hour per shift.
The only Network Rail approved temporary RRAP system suitable for use on bull-head track, TPA added that the TAMS V-RAM ensures the safe on/off and cross tracking of RRVs and wheeled plant vehicles up to 50-tonnes, during rail renewals and maintenance works.
The medium heavy-duty portable solution is said to be capable of being installed by four to six people in less than 20 minutes, then recovered in less than 10, and moved quickly and reconfigured as required.
The TAMS VRAM can be used in conjunction with TPA’s TAMS (Track Access Matting System) (PA05/05308) during S&Cs and track renewal works.
