The company GBM Gleisbaumechanik Brandenburg / H. GmbH is a manufacturer of ancillary vehicles and is a "technically appraised workshop" for railway vehicles in Brandenburg - Kirchmöser by the Federal Railway Authority . The company belongs to the Spezialtechnik-Gruppe Dresden, a subsidiary of General Atomics .

history

The core cell of the company is the state railway repair shop Brandenburg-West of the Deutsche Reichsbahn, founded in 1920 . After the Second World War, the Deutsche Reichsbahn initially continued to have locomotives and wagons repaired. In 1955 the repair of railway cranes and in 1957 of track construction machines were taken over. The SKL 24 , developed at RAW Schöneweide , established the production of auxiliary vehicles here in the plant at the end of the 1960s, which in the following years became the DR's specialist workshop for track construction mechanics. The highest production figures were achieved in the following years by the further developed Rottenkraftwagen , but other special vehicles were also developed.

When Deutsche Bahn was founded in 1994, the plant was transferred to the railway construction division as the superstructure branch . In 2002, DB finally sold the company and the 145 employees and 6 trainees were taken over by the newly founded GBM Gleisbaumechanik Brandenburg GmbH.

Product range

As already mentioned, the company has mainly been producing large numbers of Rottenkraftwagen since the 1970s, the beginning being marked by the serial production of the SKL 24. The further development of the SKL 25 replaced the first-mentioned type in several variants from 1977, which was developed shortly before the dissolution of the Deutsche Reichsbahn the successor model SKL 26 . Today's GAF100 and GAF200 represent the next generation.

Other special vehicles manufactured in Brandenburg include company vehicles for Deutsche Bahn such as the 706 , 707 and 711.1 series . Moreover, individual items were for train service purposes (such as the Ultraschallmesszug UST02 for the Dutch company Eurailscout ), the subway -taugliche rail milling SFU04 and made a Rangierroboter called "FERA" (Remotely controllable shunting trolley).

A concept of integrated measuring trains ( HIF ) implemented by the company in response to a DB tender in 1997 did not go into series production.
