Working jack to raise Mechan's profile at Railtex

Sheffield-based Mechan is exhibiting the first ever working version of its flagship lifting jacks to be seen outside a rail depot at this year’s Railtex exhibition.

The maintenance equipment specialist will be showcasing a full size, fully operational jack, complete with the firm’s patented Megalink controller, at the international trade fair in May.

Mechan’s jack will be the centrepiece on stand N10 at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham from May 12-14, illustrating the precision, build quality and ease of installation for which the firm’s products are renowned.

Visitors to Railtex will also be able to find out more about the European innovations supplied to the UK and Ireland by Mechan. The firm will be joined by representatives from four of the third party companies it represents and will be hosting a seminar focusing on laser wheel measurement with contributions from NextSense and Visiona, manufacturers of the CALIPRI and WheelPro gauges respectively.

Lee Pitts, Mechan’s sales manager, said: “Our bright yellow lifting jacks are instantly recognisable to those who work in rail depots and we are looking forward to demonstrating how our Megalink technology equips them with unrivalled synchronicity, accuracy and reliability. The sheer size of a single unit will no doubt catch the eye of anyone passing our stand at Railtex and we are really pleased to have this opportunity to bring such a large piece of equipment to an exhibition.”

Mechan’s team will be raising funds for its annual charity, Railway Children, throughout Railtex by inviting delegates to enter a prize draw in return for a contribution to the organisation, which provides protection and opportunity to children forced to leave home due to poverty, abuse or neglect.
