MTRC Hong Kong, Bogie test stand

In the era of fundamentally unidirectional flow of goods (China-Europe), it is worth noting the fact that a very technically advanced device from Poland has been delivered to the Chinese market.
The bogie test stand is used in one of the rail vehicle repair facilities belonging to the main organizer of public transport in Hong Kong, carrying over 4 million passengers daily.

The implementation of the contract was a considerable challenge for Asco Rail  company due to the rigorous customer requirements concerning, among others:
- very small pressure of the whole structure on the floor (up to 7.5 kN / m2 - for comparison, the pressure exerted by man is 20 kN / m2)
- difficult working environment conditions (high temperature and humidity)
- type of construction (screwed, completely dismountable)
- a lot of universality (the device is designed to test many different types of trolleys)
- software (tests are carried out in accordance with the specific procedures in Hong Kong which must also be followed by a detailed test report)
- short manufacturing time

The bogie test stand stand was made and assembled at Asco Rail in less than three months. Then, in the presence and under the supervision of a representative of the Chinese side, tests and factory approvals were completed positively.
After delivering the the test stand to the destination, the assembly was started, followed by detailed tests and final acceptance. During this phase of the implementation, the Polish assembly group worked very closely with Chinese partners.

During their stay in Hong Kong, employees of Asco Rail had the opportunity to learn a bit about local specifics. The order and good organization of work in the local metro repair shop and the exemplary and very safe functioning of public transport made a great impression.
