MOVE & RECOVER / DEPOT SHUNTING

Move railway vehicles without tying up a locomotive.

Zephir specializes in railcar movers built for depots, workshops, factories and industrial railways. The product range covers electric and diesel road-rail movement across very different duties.

In practice: use a compact dedicated shunter to move trains around the depot instead of using a mainline locomotive.

Italy · Railcar shunters

Road-rail and rail shunting solutions with electric and diesel architectures for depot and industrial movement.

PRODUCT OPTIONS

Zephir's current railway range is organized around the movement duty.

CRAB EZ, LOK E and LOK D cover different combinations of zero-emission operation, heavy-duty movement and site flexibility.

01

CRAB EZ

Compact electric road-rail shunter for depot and urban fleet movement.

Best for: metros, EMUs and lower-emission depot operations

02

LOK E

Electric LOK family for heavier zero-emission shunting.

Best for: heavy depots and facilities prioritizing electric operation

03

LOK D

Diesel LOK family for robust heavy shunting.

Best for: yards, production plants and demanding outdoor duty

04

Rail-Only LOK / CRAB

Dedicated rail configurations where road mobility is not required.

Best for: fixed railway facilities

05

Remote / Camera / Coupler Packages

Configure the operator interface around the local depot workflow.

Best for: safe repetitive positioning

06

Lifecycle Renewal & Service

Maintain batteries, engines, rail wheels, brakes, couplers and controls.

Best for: long-lived installed shunter fleets

HOW IT WORKS

Size the duty before choosing the shunter.

01

Map the movement

Mass, gradient, curves, frequency and distance.

02

Define the interface

Coupler, train brake, gauge and access route.

03

Choose the traction architecture

Electric, diesel, road-rail or rail-only.

04

Build lifecycle support

Fuel/charging, operators, spares and service.

WHY THIS MATTERS

A locomotive is often too much machine for a workshop movement.

Dedicated shunters are designed around frequent short moves and precise depot positioning.

Before: routine moves consume locomotives or improvised towing resources.

After: vehicle positioning becomes a dedicated depot capability.

CBP'S ROLE

The product is only useful when it fits the real railway job.

CBP sizes the real shunting duty, coordinates Zephir engineering and can structure commissioning, operator training, spares and long-term availability support.
