Wabtec Rail, through the incorporation of Vapor Stone, has an internationally
renown reputation for the supply of rail vehicle and bus door systems. Working in
conjunction with Wabtec Corporation’s Vapor Rail and Transit Divisions our door
systems can be found on inter-city, underground and metro rail vehicles throughout
the UK, North America, Asia and the Far East.
Using the most advanced technology and drawing upon an exceptional range of skills
and experience, we offer a total service covering operating mechanisms, controls and
door panels and including design, manufacture, installation, maintenance and upgrades.
Our approach is as flexible as it is thorough. We can provide everything from
individual parts to complete systems using either pneumatic or electric actuators that
can be combined with electro-mechanical or programmable electronic controls.
Where needed, bridge plates and moving steps can be integrated with the door
systems for ease of access.
SYSTEM OPTIONS
Our manufacturing capability provides a complete range of options - pneumatic
systems, compact electric belt drive systems and independent linear electric drive
systems, each with advanced features.
In addition, we have developed an innovative solution to the wear and misalignment
problems to which roller and tube systems have always been prone. Eliminating the
wear and door panel binding caused by misalignment, our Linear Bearing Guide
System has proved itself a great success and is now being applied to an increasing
number of vehicles.
REPLACEMENT PARTS, REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE
We can supply parts for Peters Door Systems and Deans Door Systems as well as those
for our own systems. Our repair and maintenance packages focus at all times on quality
and safety and are tailored to meet our clients’ individual needs.
