| Summary: | This invention relates to suspension systems used to provide support to railway vehicles during transportation, and more particularly to a pneumatic suspension system for railway repair machines that is selectively operable during transportation.
A suspension system configured to provide suspension to a railroad maintenance machine having a frame and a chassis, where the suspension system is selectively operable between work and transportation modes of the machine. The suspension system includes a suspension that is operable between a first position and a second position. The first position is when the suspension is substantially inflated for transportation of the machine, and the second position is when the suspension is substantially deflated for conducting railroad maintenance. Contact with the rail is maintained in either position. |
