Italian railway maintenance equipment manufacturer SRT (Servizi Ricerche Tecnologiche) has delivered a state-of-the-art rail grinding machine, the Vulcano LGT 10M, to DOLKOM Sp. z oo, a subsidiary of Poland’s national infrastructure operator PKP PLK. The delivery is one of DOLKOM’s major steps in modernising its railway maintenance fleet and improving service quality.
Vulcano LGT 10M Increases DOLKOM's Rail Maintenance Capacity
The Vulcano LGT 10M rail grinding machine, part of SRT’s Vulcano Light series, is a high-performance vehicle equipped with a Stage V diesel engine that meets the latest European emission standards. This advanced machine is capable of processing both standard railway rails and complex switch structures with high precision. In the design of this rail grinding machine, meticulously manufactured at the SRT facility in Fano, Italy, engineers have successfully integrated modern technologies and an environmentally friendly engine. DOLKOM’s investment aims to support an environmentally friendly approach by making the maintenance and repair processes of railway infrastructure more efficient, while also reducing harmful emissions.
Railway Maintenance Strengthened by EU Cooperation
Poland stands out for its consistent investments in its railway sector. While efforts to modernise railway lines across the country and improve transport safety are ongoing, this state-of-the-art equipment from SRT will significantly strengthen the technical capabilities of Poland’s railway infrastructure. This successful collaboration between SRT and DOLKOM clearly demonstrates the strong and productive level of cooperation within the European Union (EU). Such technology transfers promote the sharing of knowledge and experience, contributing to the improvement of rail maintenance standards across Europe.
The Vulcano LGT 10M rail grinding machine will play an important role as a valuable tool in DOLKOM’s field operations. This modern machine will increase the efficiency of repair and maintenance work on railway lines and further accelerate the modernization process of the country’s railway infrastructure. This investment is considered a critical step in achieving Poland’s goal of improving the reliability and quality of its railway network.
