At Dellner we know how important it is to maintain the reliability of systems connecting rail vehicles, such as couplers and gangways, which is why we offer our customers specialist service training to help their technical staff service these systems efficiently and correctly.

What is Dellner maintenance training?

Dellner maintenance training courses are comprehensive courses that include both theoretical and practical parts. Our training programs focus on the most important aspects of regular maintenance of couplers and gangways . By conducting the practical part of the training directly on the customer’s units, participants gain experience that they can immediately apply in their daily work.

Why is training important?

Know-how is an important source of economic success for our customers. By transferring knowledge, we help technicians and engineers acquire the skills required to independently perform maintenance work 

at a lower maintenance level (Basic, Standard 1 LRU, Standard 2 SRU). Correct and regular servicing is crucial for ensuring long service life and reliability of systems connecting rail vehicles. Routine maintenance can detect minor faults early, allowing for quick repairs and preventing more serious problems in the future. Proper maintenance procedures therefore contribute to reducing costs and minimising downtime.

Benefits of coupler maintenance training

Training conducted by qualified Dellner experts guarantees the delivery of top level knowledge and skills. The key advantages of our training are:

  • Expertise – our specialists are experts in the production and servicing of systems connecting rail vehicles.
  • Theory and practice – we combine theoretical knowledge with practical product experience.
  • Global reach – we conduct training around the world in local languages, so that each participant can fully understand the training provided.
  • Direct customer support – our experts train customer staff in proper maintenance procedures, which boosts safety and efficiency.

In 2024, Dellner technical experts conducted a number of training courses, including for technicians from Koleje Śląskie and Koleje Wielkopolskie. Internationally, the global training team has completed training for several key projects in recent months: Myanmar (train manufacturer: CAF), Tanzania EMU (train manufacturer: Rotem ) and Singapore R151 metro (train manufacturer: CRRC).

These training courses gave our customers an in-depth understanding of the subject as well as practical skills in coupler maintenance, which translates into increased vehicle reliability and safety.
