Logistics and Transport

ALWAYS ON THE MOVE.

Logistics and transport manage the flow of resource across the entire supply chain to meet the requirements of customers or corporations. When managing the flow of goods and materials, four key parameters are crucial: reliability, availability, maintainability, and safety, or RAMS for short.

From ship engine components and rail vehicle technology to equipment for container handling and hydrogen fuelling stations, we support your complete value chain of transport and logistics.

Requirements in the transport and logistics industry

Transport technology

Transport technology

Global rail transport covers billions of kilometers a year – moving people and freight efficiently, often in the harshest climatic conditions. The goals are safety, energy efficiency, and lowering emissions. With tailor-made components and systems Rexroth helps manufacturers and transport operators lower the life cycle costs of rail vehicles and equipment.

Men in front of Marine and Offshore applications

Marine and Offshore

Storm or rough swell, tropical or arctic oceans, on the surface or at a depth of 6,000 meters: The most important requirement for marine and offshore engineering is its reliability. For more than 50 years, Rexroth has been equipping ships and platforms of all kinds with drive and control solutions for numerous different tasks. We accompany OEMs, shipyards, ocean carriers and oil & gas production companies from the design and commissioning through the entire life cycle of the ship and the offshore equipment and ensure that our technology works reliably and efficiently, e.g. Heave Compensation Systems with Secondary Controls from Bosch Rexroth.

Ship engine components

Ship engine components

It is hard to imagine life nowadays without ships as a modern mode of transport. They fulfil many tasks and must measure to the most stringent requirements. For the technical systems on board this means: No compromises. Reliability, robustness, always ready for operation, low-maintenance, and a long service life – these are just a few of the attributes required by ship components. Challenges that we also face when supplying optimum and technically innovative solutions in hydraulic drive and control technology.

Know-how, efficiency and service for the transport and logistics industry

Experience

Experience

For machine and equipment engineers, industry knowledge is an important factor in selecting their partners. Bosch Rexroth offers you application experience in transport and logistics around the globe along with local contact persons for any project. From defining the project objectives to commissioning, the project will be supported by experienced specialists throughout its entire course. Using proprietary simulation programs, they will verify that all components function properly and are designed in line with the task at hand.

Reliability in harsh conditions

Reliability in harsh conditions

Increased reliability reduced emissions and improved profitability. All in the harshest conditions. Rexroth's electrical, hydraulic and electro-hydraulic components and system solutions demonstrate these qualities daily, in thousands of rail vehicles, worldwide.

Maximum uptime

Maximum uptime

Throughout the last 50+ years, Rexroth has continued to meet its customers high confidence level based on thorough risk analyses. Backed by project approach that is supported by in-house design and manufacturing of large hydraulic cylinders, tailor-made hydraulic power units, sophisticated software and controls, and a worldwide operating service organization. Enabling customers to realize various continuous uptime programs.

For the transport and logistics industry: Application examples from Bosch Rexroth

FIVA valve

ACROSS THE WORLD’S OCEANS WITHOUT A CARE

2-stroke diesel marine engines with FIVA valves from Bosch Rexroth consume less fuel and operate with minimum emissions.

Ships’ engines must operate reliably around the clock. At the same time, however, they should also ensure the lowest possible emissions and minimum operating costs. This can only be achieved with optimum control of the fuel injection and exhaust gas outlet. Bosch Rexroth‘s hydraulic servo valve is designed to follow the performance curve of large 2-stroke diesel engines precisely, thus allowing fuel consumption and NOX emissions to be minimized. When it comes to ensuring reliable operation, another key aspect is optimum ease of handling: Bosch Rexroth‘s FIVA valve fulfills this requirement thanks to its integrated electronics. The complete valve can be replaced during a service call without adjustment.

JonRie

WINCH RELIABILITY IS THE PULL FOR HÄGGLUNDS AT JONRIE INTERTECH

Exceptional winch solutions – all built with Hägglunds hydraulic motors from Bosch Rexroth.

As tough and versatile as Hägglunds motors are, JonRie has no difficulties incorporating them into the winches. On the contrary, the motors’ high power density ensures that both power and function can be packed into a small amount of deck space. JonRie relies mainly on motors from the Hägglunds Compact series, which includes the Hägglunds CA, CB and CBm, as well as the newer Hägglunds CAb.

“Deck space is always a premium,” says Durar. “The Hägglunds CAb is a very small Hägglunds motor, and we’ve been experimenting with it on our level winds. It’s a nice stout motor in a good little package, and the principle is the same. It takes a licking but keeps on ticking.”
