PEMs keep RHG & PTA on track

During our engagement on the longest blockade in Perth Transit Authority (PTA) history, we were able to demonstrate our commitment to innovation through the utilisation of a track and turnouts laying system, known as PEM’s or PEM-LEM.

These PEMs allow for the remote installation of turnouts either by slewing them from an adjacent site or by transporting them on LEMs (motorised transportation trolley) on track from the assembly site to installation site.

This was only the third time in PTA history that this equipment had been used but it was an efficient, safe and necessary piece of equipment to install integral turnout assets for our customer.
