Thus, it meets the requirements of shunting and transfer traffic and beyond all the tasks of a construction vehicle. The tracked vehicle is capable of handling high towing loads and to transport the machine, equipment and materials required at the construction site by means of a loading area and loading crane. On site, it can be used to support the work, thanks to the large number of additional accessories available. The equipment is made according to customer requirements. Thanks to different body variants, such as the use of different cranes, it meets the diverse requirements of construction sites. The combination of power for traction and flexibility in work makes the track car 54.24 a dealen and especially economical construction vehicle. The Type 54 / TM 235 is used by many railway companies in Europe, including Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark and Belgium.
