More information

The MTW 100.216 motor tower car is the ideal work vehicle for safe and efficient work at the overhead line system.  

The heavy-duty, 4-axle motor tower car in standard railway vehicle design is used for the installation of catenary, for maintenance and inspection and for the transport of personnel and material. Together with the knowhow and long experience gained in practical operation by Europten, these vehicle models were further developed and perfected down to the last detail.

A safe passageway between the two cabins is provided by hydraulic fold-up walkways on both sides adjacent to the work platform. This means that it is not necessary to climb down from the machine during work. This makes an important contribution towards safety and productivity.
