The radio-controlled, 1.6t capacity crane will be used for handling tramway roof elements during maintenance operations.
The tramway depot of the STIB (SociÈtÈ des Transports Intercommunaux de Bruxelles) in WoluwÈ-St.-Pierre is a classified historical site and hosts the Brussels Urban Transport Museum, or “Tram Museum,” next to the active depot.
The crane will be used for handling elements on the tramway roof (catenaries, auxiliary converters, etc.) used for train service and maintenance.
The bridge crane is radio-controlled. A suspended button box can also be used either from the catwalk or from the ground under the bridge beams. The suspended control is used only as standby.
