I-Kenya Railways ithenge i-telescopic crane ezosetshenziselwa ukubuyisela izimoto ezivaleleke noma eziphumile ku-Mombasa-Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway.
U-crane, owafika echwebeni laseMombasa ngoNovemba 1, ungomunye wamakhreni amabili okuhlanza imfucuza azohlinzekwa ngusonkontileka wobunjiniyela, wokuthenga nokwakha i-China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) njengengxenye yesivumelwano neKenya.
I-crane ifakwe injini ye-diesel-hydraulic, inamandla okuphakamisa amathani angu-160, kanye nempilo yesevisi elinganiselwa eminyakeni engu-70.
I-crane ingase futhi isetshenziselwe ukuphakamisa izinto zokusebenza noma ukulayisha ezinkundleni noma emaceleni, futhi ingase isetshenziselwe ukuphakamisa ama-slabs ethrekhi kanye nezinto zokulala ngesikhathi sokulungiswa kwethrekhi.
Ukuze uvimbele ukunyakaza ngengozi ngesikhathi sokusebenza, i-crane ifakwe i-hydraulic braking system futhi isebenzisa ama-outriggers ukuthuthukisa ukuzinza.
I-crane idonswa yisitimela sikagandaganda futhi ingahamba ngesivinini esifinyelela ku-120 km/h, okwenza kube lula ukuyihambisa endaweni oyifunayo.
