Abstract

Le procédé décrit sert à charger sur des trains de wagons des rails sectionnés remplaçables qui ont une longueur d'au moins 30 à 40 mètres et qui ont été placés sur des traverses sur un côté de nouveaux rails montés sur les traverses. On utilise à cet effet une machine de chargement (2) équipée de flèches jumelées (6) et de pinces d'accrochage jumelées (7). La machine de chargement (2) est pourvue de bras téléscopiques (4) et est placée sur le dernier wagon d'un train de wagons. La machine de chargement (2) est déchargée du train de wagons par déploiement des bras téléscopiques (4), puis la machine de chargement est amenée à entrer en fonction pendant que le train de wagons est amené à faire marche arrière en direction de l'extrémité opposée des rails (20), les rails sectionnés pouvant ainsi être soulevés et placés sur des dispositifs de transport (23) disposés sur les wagons (1). La présente invention se rapporte également à une machine de chargement (2) du type décrit qui est destinée à coopérer avec une rampe (12) munie de roues en prise avec les rails.
