Bivial trucks: the “all-purpose knife” of rail maintenance

Imagine a vehicle capable of moving both on the road and on the tracks, entering and leaving the railway line at strategic points. Such are the bivial trucks, essential in day-to-day railway installation and maintenance, especially in networks where continuous movement on the track is not feasible.

But these trucks are far more sophisticated than they appear. They incorporate systems such as diploris, which ensure precise and reliable alignment on the rails, along with inverters to operate in both directions at reasonable speeds, derricks and baskets that facilitate work at heights, and cranes for handling loads, adapting to any need in the rail infrastructure.

To ensure their safety and reliability, the bivial trucks must undergo rigorous testing and periodic inspections, like a kind of railway MOT, which ensures that each component is in optimal condition. In addition, they can only be operated by authorized Infrastructure Maintenance Operators (IMO), highly trained professionals who have mastered the technical and operational requirements of these vehicles.

At Telice, we know that a tool is only as good as those who operate and maintain it, and that is why we are committed to quality equipment and professionals. Every detail counts so that our operations are safe and efficient, always keeping the commitment to advance in each railway project.
