Hydraulic Control Made Simple
When manual operation is needed, a built-in hand pump lets crews operate the switch without power. Optional features like presence detection and crossover route locking help prevent movement when the track is occupied. You can choose between LED indicators or a mechanical target to show switch position.
With no need for signal wiring or interlocking, the machine can be installed and ready in less than four hours, even by a small crew.
