FEA-Tested
Custom platforms — rail coach dims
Outcome

Measurable impact across the operational footprint.

FEA
Pre-Tested

Finite-element analysis validated every platform geometry before fabrication.

Coach
Body Clearance

Platforms clear rail coach curvature without contact.

Heavy
Equipment Rated

Designed for assembly tooling + operator plus margin.

01 · The Challenge

Rail coaches don't fit standard scaffolds.

Siemens Mobility assembles rail coaches and metro trainsets on long production lines. Standard scaffolds don't wrap coach bodies cleanly, creating gaps that slow operators and create fall hazards at coach-end bogies.

Off-the-shelf platforms wouldn't cut it — Siemens needed bespoke geometry per coach model, with load capacity for mounted tooling and multiple operators simultaneously.

02 · The Solution

Custom FEA-tested platforms per coach model.

Y Group's engineering team took coach CAD models, ran finite-element analysis on candidate platform geometries, and delivered fabricated units matched to each coach profile.

Every platform carries documented FEA results, material traceability, and third-party inspection sign-off. Siemens' plant engineers validated fit before acceptance.
