Precision shunting

August 2010 – Shunter BRD-80 was specially designed for shunting operations on industrial parks and in rail yards. The vehicle is highly suitable for precise movements and is primarily deployed for shunting over short distances. De Boer Snijbedrijf's part in the construction of this locomotive was to cut various steel parts, thereby contributing a nice bit of high-precision engineering.

The shunter was built by Bemo Rail of Warmenhuizen for the DuPont chemical company. The vehicle is highly suitable for precise movements and is primarily deployed for shunting over short distances. Its maximum speed is 20 km/h, but to ensure safe operation at DuPont's site, the top speed was limited to 11 km/h. The locomotive control system was developed by Bemo Rail itself and can be modified to meet the specific requirements of the customer. Thanks in part to the cutting work provided by De Boer Snijbedrijf, Bemo Rail was able to deliver a fine piece of high-precision engineering.
