Gmeinder Köf III zur Miete

Further information about this vehicle type

The Köf III locomotive from Gmeinder, built in 1976, is a classic example of German engineering in the field of shunting technology. This robustly built diesel-hydraulic small locomotive was specially designed for shunting service in stations, workshops and industrial plants. With its proven MWM engine from 1976, which delivers an output of 177 kW (approx. 240 hp), the locomotive has sufficient power reserves to reliably master even demanding shunting tasks. Unlike many later modernised models, this locomotive is not equipped with additional train control systems such as PZB or LZB, which underlines its original and unadulterated design. Nevertheless, with its GSM-R MESA26 radio system and an integrated DB-Z system, it meets modern requirements for communication and operational safety in rail transport. It thus offers a successful combination of classic technology and practical retrofitting. The Gmeinder Köf III impresses not only with its performance, but also with its versatility. With a service weight of around 22 tonnes, a B axle arrangement and a maximum speed of around 45 km/h, it is ideal for shunting freight wagons, use on connecting railways or as a reliable shunting locomotive in railway depots. Its compact design also allows it to be operated on tracks with tighter radii, making it particularly flexible for everyday use. Thanks to the combination of solid engine technology, classic design and modern communication, this Köf III from Gmeinder is an attractive choice for railway companies looking for a reliable, powerful and historically authentic shunting locomotive. It combines the tradition of the 1970s with the technical equipment necessary for today's railway operations.
