16 STATIONARY CABLE-BOUND SHUNTING SYSTEMS POWERFUL CABLE-BOUND SHUNTING SYSTEMS PROVED HUNDREDS OF TIMES Since the 1950s stationary, cable-bound shunting systems have been in use for the moving of rail- way wagons and trains. Especially in explosion- proof areas, our systems meet the highest safety and inspection requirements. For this kind of uti- lization scenario, all mechanical and electrical components are required to have CE marking ac- cording to the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EC. A double clamping device for the traction and idle cable as well as an automatic retension- ing of the cable ensure friction-free and economic processes. Individual railway wagons can hereby be precisely positioned onto a scale or loading point, or the complete train can be moved auto- matically at a low and constant velocity. Cable- bound shunting systems from Vollert represent a compact, rugged and reliable technology. Utilized throughout the world and around-the clock in de- manding day-to-day operations in explosion-proof areas, train washing systems as well as in main- tenance facilities. 1 Cable-bound shunting systems brave ice-cold weather in Siberia, Russia 2 Cable-bound shunting systems are always customized to the area of application 2 2 1
