2. INTRODUCTION
The Permaquip Kubota is an Off-Road Rail Vehicle (RRV) that has been designed to
facilitate the transportation of goods and personnel. These benefits can be
enhanced further when used in conjunction with the Permaquip™Rail Mover, Type
B Towing Trolley, Gas Bottle Trolley, Personnel Carrier, Drum Trolley and Railman.
The Permaquip Kubota RRV is a 4 x 4 vehicle fitted with a diesel engine, which has
the ability to carry two persons in addition to the payload located in the rear. This
payload area can also accommodate an additional four passengers when on rail.
The Kubota base vehicle has been equipped by Permaquip with the following
features:
Front and rear rail gear.
Ramps for on/off tracking across track (optional).
Control module.
Front and rear work lights.
Rear load/seating arrangement.
Towing/propelling couplings for use with the range of accessories.
Hydraulic & air brake couplings for use with the range of accessories.
The fail-safe brake system(s) causes the brakes to be applied when one of the
following occurs:
The Trolleys or Personnel Carrier brakes away from the consist and causes
the hydraulic or air hose to rupture.
A break in the Break-away Warning Circuit, in conjunction with the Marker
Light Board.
The Engine Stops are operated.
Operation of the handbrake at the driving position.
Full application of the footbrake.
Turning the brake system to the ‘Off’ position.
