Sheffield-based heavy lifting and handling specialist, Mechan, has transformed the centre of a busy London rail depot into a multi-purpose maintenance space.
The manufacturer has designed a bespoke wheel drop for the East Ham Train Depot, operated by South Essex and London rail operator, C2C Trenitalia.
Lindsey Mills, Mechan’s sales director, said: “When we received Spencer Group’s specification, we knew East Ham’s unique space constraints would prove challenging for our engineers. However, by working collaboratively with all parties involved, we have designed a bespoke solution to the potential congestion caused by undertaking two maintenance activities in one place and ensured the depot can work efficiently and effectively when the wheel drop is not in use.”
