Heavy-duty Technology for Europe’s First Hyperloop Test Track

The Technical University of Munich was planning the construction of a European model test track for the Hyperloop – a pioneering high-speed transportation concept. A special solution was needed to safely transport the sensitive capsule to the test site.

Projektumsetzung im Detail

BÜTER Hebetechnik GmbH developed a heavy-duty vehicle that brought the capsule safely to the test track. The design was precisely tailored to the dimensions, weight and sensitive components of the Hyperloop capsule. As a special feature, the platform can be moved in all directions with millimeter precision and a cable winch was installed to pull the capsule out of the tube.
