Mechan will be showcasing its new Microlink jack control system at this year’s InnoTrans exhibition in September.

The Sheffield-based rail depot equipment specialist will be exhibiting in the British Pavilion at InnoTrans 2012, as part of a delegation led by the Rail Industry Association and UK Trade and Investment.

The firm will be showcasing the latest version of its Microlink jack control system, following a complete redesign.

Upgrades to the patented jack controller have enabled Mechan to install the largest single system of lifting jacks in the UK at the Alstom Transport Traincare Centre near Manchester.

Microlink’s bespoke software is now operating a set of 44 jacks used to service the new 11-car Pendolino trains.

Managing director Richard Carr said: “InnoTrans is a unique opportunity to show the world how we are developing our products to meet the changing needs of the rail industry and highlight some of the major achievements we have made in the last two years.”
