About HANNING & KAHL
HANNING & KAHL is a system supplier for rail transport headquartered in Oerlinghausen. The company develops and manufactures electric and manual point machines, hydraulic braking systems for tram and metro vehicles, signalling and control technology components such as point controls, train signal systems and level crossing protection systems, as well as rail accessories. Manufacturing encompasses machining with in-house turning technology, electro-mechatronic assembly and industrial painting; in addition, software for control and diagnostic systems such as ConnAct® is developed. The portfolio covers system variants for 100% low-floor vehicles and metro vehicles. An extensive service portfolio accompanies the entire product life cycle: installation and commissioning including mobile milling of cut-outs in grooved rail, major inspections and modernization of point machines and braking systems, preventive maintenance, training, spare parts and obsolescence management, and a 24-hour hotline. Customers are transport operators and railways, including Deutsche Bahn, for whom the HZM test device was commissioned. In addition to the German site, there are HANNING & KAHL USA and a network of international representatives; the website is available in German, English and Chinese.
