DRAISINES - HAND PUMP CARS and RAIL CYCLES

Our company INTERLOK fabricates factory new hand pump cars according to a historical Prussian model for different gauges. According to the customers' demands, we install benches or wooden seats - removable or fixed to the platform. The following two photos show two versions for narrow gauge.

s = 600-750mm s = 1000-1435mm
l = 2600 l = 2600
l¹ = 1030 l¹ = 1200(1030)
b = 1350 b = 1720
h = 1350 h = 1500
h¹ = 550 h¹ = 640
Ø = 450 Ø = 450

Two standard gauge versions - left hand side for the association PÄNGELANTON in Münster/Westfalia, right hand side a modernized version for INDUSTRIEMUSEUM CHEMNITZ where only during the first few days after arrival, about 10.000 visitors run the draisine!

Further gauges on demand. Our producer's plates: At the left for No 1, right an actual example - No 10 for Rügen.

IN SWITZERLAND, our pump trolley is the attraction at Mr. JUCHLER's nursery (right hand side on the slide photos). During festivals, families and children run speed races, the destinguished guests in regional costumes enjoying it. (All photos from the nursery: COPYRIGHT TOBIAS JUCHLER)

We have further improved our models after heavy exhaust tests that we undertook with one of our hand pump cars that was selected to participate in the children's cinema movie "Stella and the Star of the Orient".

The former Director of the closed in 1992 600mm narrow gauge line of Jarocin/ Witaszyce, Eng. Marek Kaniewski, is the head of our draisine manufacture department. Interlok had already sold six original hand pump cars from the 600mm branch of Bialosliwie/Naklo through Mr. Kaniewski. The large demand of international rail enthusiasts led to the fabrication programme, at the beginning in cooperation with the former partner ZNTK and the narrow gauge branch workshop of Bialosliwie.

Our current versions are modernized by implementation of free-of-maintenance roller bearings on the wheels and pump mechanism. Clients may chose how to arrange seats or benches, as well as whether to equip the cars with cogwheel or chain transmission. Wheels are cast in own moulds. The hand pump cars have two independent braking systems, a brake on the pump mechanism and a pedal/ lever brake on the brake shoes. On demand, the vehicles may be equipped with speedometer, lighting or a diesel engine. Height of platform is 650 mm, of pump mechanism 1500 mm over rail. Width of platform is 1300 mm and length including steps - depending on the gauge of the vehicle - between 2200 and 2400 mm. Weight is up to 250 kg. If not agreed otherwise by the client, maximum speed is reduced to 25/30 km/h for security reasons.

The new INTERLOK rail cycles also are equipped with roller bearings. We manufacture rail bicycles for one or two persons, as well as rail cycles with a platform and benches for several persons.
