After a long, four-year wait, rail depot equipment specialist Mechan will be flying the flag for British manufacturing once again at this year’s InnoTrans exhibition. The Sheffield-based firm, which is renowned for its ubiquitous yellow jacks, will be in Berlin from 20–23 September showcasing the reliability and versatility of its wide range of maintenance equipment.
Lindsey Mills, Mechan’s Sales Director, said: “After such a long break, we’re really looking forward to being back in the RIA UK Pavilion at InnoTrans. There is huge anticipation for this event, as it is the first opportunity we’ve had to catch up with rail colleagues from across the globe since the pandemic.”
Mechan’s flagship lifting jacks grace some of the world’s most advanced depots and orders have remained strong throughout Covid, with interest growing in the newest addition to its range – a version designed specifically for the tram and light rail markets. Last year, the firm delivered one of its largest-ever orders to London Underground’s Acton depot. A total of 44 ten-tonne jacks were installed, taking the overall number in use at the facility to 68. They are housed in the site’s new train modification unit to assist with an ongoing project to reduce increasing maintenance costs and improve the reliability and productivity of the Central line fleet.
