Barrier-free access
Barrier-free railway design ensures seamless travel for passengers with reduced mobility, promoting inclusivity and convenience for all.
High-tech solutions for inclusive mobility
Liebherr is shaping the future of barrier-free rail travel with leveling systems based on advanced electrohydraulic actuators. This technology ensure safe and seamless boarding and exiting for passengers of all abilities, enhancing comfort and accessibility across railway networks.
Innovative leveling systems
Liebherr’s sensor-controlled electrohydraulic leveling systems enable precise height adjustments of up to 80 millimeters, allowing trains to align with platforms for smooth, barrier-free access. Widely used in North America, these systems meet stringent regulations and have delivered excellent results in real-world applications. A typical system includes a hydraulic power unit, leveling actuator, position sensor (optionally integrated into a vertical damper), and a controller, ensuring reliable operation.
