Macton Corporation

Macton drop table systems are well-known for their performance and reliability. They are designed to aid in the removal, inspection, maintenance and repair of locomotive truck or single axle wheel set/traction motor combination assemblies. Macton has the experience and capability to custom design a drop table for any service application. Macton drop tables are completely modular for ease of field assembly and maintenance. Truck Drop Tables – Macton has full truck drop tables designed to accommodate two and three axle trucks. Full truck drop tables may also have a split service top to accommodate single axle removal. The machine screws in Macton drop tables are positioned behind the lifting columns for protection against debris and damage. The jack nuts are guided and lubricated through the entire stroke to maximize the wear life. The control of the table is through a PLC, which is programmed for automatic operation. The precise positioning of the drop table is automatically monitored, thereby providing the operator with maximum convenience and decreasing the wear and tear on the drive mechanism. Macton drop tables are designed for many years of reliable, safe operation.
