O+K Köf III zur Miete

Further information about this vehicle type

The Köf III locomotive from Orenstein & Koppel (O+K), built in 1976, is a prime example of reliable and robust shunting technology in the German railway industry. Developed for heavy shunting service in stations, industrial and works railways, it combines the proven design of the series with modern safety technology and communication systems. Its MWM engine, also built in 1976, delivers 177 kW of power, which is sufficient to reliably handle even demanding shunting tasks. This locomotive belongs to the family of small diesel-hydraulic locomotives that were specially developed for flexibility and efficiency in shunting operations. With its B axle arrangement, a service weight of around 22 tonnes and a maximum speed of approximately 45 km/h, the O+K Köf III is ideally suited for moving train sets in stations and sidings. It therefore remains a valuable working locomotive for railway companies and private operators to this day. Particularly noteworthy is the technical equipment, which meets today's safety requirements for rail transport. The built-in SEL I60 ER24 PZB 90 train control system ensures maximum safety and allows the locomotive to be used on many networks without any problems. In addition, the locomotive has a modern GSM-R MESA26 radio system, which brings communication between the driver and the operations centre up to the latest state of the art. The existing DB-Z system also ensures seamless integration into everyday operations and facilitates interoperability on the rail network. With its combination of proven mechanics, reliable MWM engine technology and modern communication and safety package, this Köf III from 1976 is an ideal choice for companies looking for a powerful and operational shunting locomotive. It combines the durability of classic German locomotive engineering from O+K with the requirements of modern railway operations.
