High-reach Pantographs

The high-reach pantograph is one of Minel’s most recognizable and advanced products, engineered for overhead systems that demand extended operational height and exceptional stability.

As one of the few manufacturers worldwide, and one of three certified providers in India, Minel delivers a solution trusted for demanding high-reach applications in modern railway networks.

  • Operating on 25 kVAC systems with a rated current of 600 A, this pantograph is designed for high performance electric traction, reaching speeds up to 200 km/h.
  • Its robust yet precisely balanced structure, weighing approximately 210 kg, ensures reliable operation even under challenging mechanical and environmental conditions.
  • With a 3600 mm working range, the high reach pantograph provides smooth and precise vertical movement through its pneumatic actuator, ensuring accurate alignment with overhead wires at significant heights.
  • The 70 N+- 10 N adjustable contact force maintains stable current collection while reducing wear, supported by integrated ADD and ORD safety functions for enhanced reliability.
  • Designed to operate reliably in temperatures from -25°C to +45°C, it delivers consistent performance even in challenging environments.

As one of Minel’s signature innovations, the high-reach pantograph sets a new benchmark for reliability, precision, and elevated railway performance.
