The lifting and unloading mechanism for loading and unloading a multipurpose armored tractor and a military KamAZ train platform was tested on the railway section of the city of Taraz.

Specialists from the Main Directorate of Military Relations of the Directorate of the Chief of Logistics of the Armed Forces and Kazakhstan Temir Zholy JSC participated in it. 

The blockade of roads, limited access to railways, destruction of infrastructure, and the absence of stationary cranes and platforms are described as a special period. 

Learning new methods of loading and unloading equipment is aimed at optimizing logistics operations and increasing the mobility and efficiency of military units. Practical testing of lifting and unloading mechanisms will allow us to check their load-bearing capacity, reliability and operating speed, and assess the compatibility of the restored trains with modern models of military equipment.  

- Testing of a special platform from the restored train set of JSC "Kazakhstan Temir Zholy" took place in accordance with the roadmap approved by the Ministries of Defense and Transport, - explained Lieutenant Colonel Kuanysh Karabekov, Head of the Railway Transport Department of the Main Directorate of Military Relations of the Directorate of the Chief of Logistics of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Kazakhstan. - The tests are aimed at increasing our potential in the field of operational logistics and strengthening the country's defense capabilities.  

Under the guidance of experienced specialists, the development of various scenarios for loading and unloading equipment was successful. The tests allowed us to assess the capabilities of the railway infrastructure in using lifting devices in relation to the tasks of the Armed Forces. Their results will be used to improve technical solutions and develop standards for the use of lifting and unloading systems.
