Maintenance, Repair, and Upgrades for Rail and Battery-Powered Vehicles

Comprehensive Service Solutions for Maximum Reliability and Efficiency

In both rail and bus operations, high availability is crucial to avoid delays, customer dissatisfaction, and significant costs due to downtime. Components such as pantographs are subjected to extreme stress on a daily basis. Our innovative solutions ensure that your vehicles remain reliably operational and that failures are minimized. Regular maintenance and overhauls are therefore essential. Schunk offers customized solutions in original equipment manufacturer (OEM) quality to ensure the operational readiness of your vehicles and to efficiently manage wear and tear.
