1. DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTION

1.1. Lifting and excavating

a. Significant lifting capacities

 On rail with jib in longitudinal position the KGT-E nominal capacity is up to 5.5 tons (at
7.38 meters from rotation axle – counterweight in). Also see in appendices all lifting
performances in different configurations.

Nota: All lifting capacities are indicated without any safety factor.
Max. range radius of the boom ......................................................... 7.38 m
Max. available power for tools ......................................................... 110 kW
Max. flow ........................................................................ 250 l/min
Max. pressure ................................................................. 335 bars
Quick couplers ..................................................................................... S60
Jib’s spindle ............................................................. L 210 mm Φ50H8 mm

 An electronic system alarms the conductor if the maximal authorized loads are over
passed. This system calculates the loading configuration thanks to cylinder’s hydraulic
pressure and positions, track’s cant and turret’s angle. The conductor has a feedback:
 All the time on display with
o Moment arm value
o Lifted load value
o and its proportion regarding the maximal load
 At 90% and 100% of maximal authorized load with audible alarm.

 A mobile counterweight is mounted on the turret of the loader. This counterweight is set
in motion by an hydraulic cylinder controlled from the driving cab:
 Rising and lowering of the lorries is only possible when counterweight is completely
inside. Counterweight can also be moved out in rail mode.
 The mobile counterweight (1 550 – 2 150 mm) increase of 10% lifting capacities (see
appendices)
 Access to the engine is easier thanks to moveable counterweight.

1. 1. DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTION (following)

b. Multipurpose boom

The boom is polyvalent and allow to:

 Lift important loads (see lifting diagrams in appendices)
 Excavate with high efficiency (see working curves in appendices)
 Bring up to 110 kW hydraulic power for tools
(max. 250 l/min – max. 335 bars)

First boom ................................................................................ approx. 4 m

Second boom ........................................................................... appxox. 3 m
Jib range (extension in) ...................................................................... 6.5 m
Jib range (extension out) .................................................................. 7.38 m

c. A large range of tools adapted to railway works

All GEISMAR’s tools are easily exchangeable thanks to a S60 quick couplers type set up at
the end of the stick. The following commands are proportionally actionable from the driving
cab:
 “Average hydraulic flow” function
 Hammer / Brush cutter function
 High flow / High pressure function (up to 110 kW)
 Multidirectional tools coupler (rototilt type) designed by GEISMAR

Nota: see appendices for presentation of tools range.

1. DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTION (following)

1.2. Safety management
a. Fast movements with respect of railway gauge

Turret rotation limitation:

 A hydraulic pump is dedicated to turret’s rotation (360°). Pivoting speed is up to 12rpm
and completely independent from jib’s movements.
 On rail, counterweight can be blocked inside working gauge.
 When adjacent track is not closed rotation of turret is limited with an electro-hydraulic
system doubled with mechanical stops.

Lifting boom limitation:

 An electro-hydraulic system limits automatically boom’s horizontal movements to avoid
any contact with over-head line when not shut down.
 Moreover, a stop cylinder limits vertical boom’s displacements.

Like the rotation limitation system, the height limitation one is completed by an additional
mechanic safety

KGT-E Europe_2014-11-20.docx
 KGT - E Page 8/27

1. DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTION (following)

b. Safety regarding EN 15 746 standards:

 A standards compliant torque limier

 A system that control load on rail in order to don’t exceed limit values imposed by
standards
 A ΔQ/Q system that checks road offload
 Shunting railway axles
(All those standards requirements are non-blocking systems, but are indicated by visual and
audible alarms)

c. Additional safety systems:

 A sensor is placed inside the left hand side armrest; when in the upper position, it
disables all machine controls and activates parking brakes.
 In addition, a presence sensor: in the seat, inhibits controls when empty.
 Two blind spot cameras; Can work day and night, the first one on the counterweight and
the second one on the opposite side of the cabin, over the tanks.
 In railway mode, road axles are locked in track’s direction.

1. DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTION (following)

 The loader is equipped with electric and manual emergency pumps that allow setting
KGT-E in trailing position in less than 5 minutes.
 Emergency stop buttons are installed inside the cabin: one at the driver’s position, the
other one near attendant’s seat.
 The turret rotation motor has an auto-brake in case of hydraulic failure.
 The jib’s hydraulic cylinders have safety valves to prevent any boom movement in case
of breakdown.
 On lower frame, 4 railway signaling lights are installed. They indicate the KGT-E feed
direction.

Lower signaling lights complement those on the turret

1.3. Hydraulic system

a. A high performance hydraulic circuit composed by:

 1 pump, closed circuit, for transmission (road or rail)

 1 pump, closed circuit, for turret’s rotation
 1 pump for jib’s and tools’ movements
 1 triple gear-pump for direction, load stabilization, lorry downing, counterweight, radiator
and gearbox.
 1 hydraulic oil tank, 220 liters
 1 air radiator with a fan

b. Safe displacements

 Front railway axle can swing in order to drive easily even on important track distortion.
 Front road axle can swing so the loader can evolve on difficult ground.
 Both oscillations can be blocked by the conductor from the driving cab.
 Loader is equipped with one hydrostatic circuit (closed). The thermic engine drives a
hydraulic pump which furnishes hydraulic energy to hydraulic motor.
