In designing the Lokotrack LT120, quick and easy maintenance was a major driver. The jaw die bolts are easily accessible, and the composite covers protecting the flywheels can be safely and easily opened.
The Lokotrack LT120E is an alternative to the hydraulic-driven version. With the electric-driven version, energy can be taken either from an external power supply or from an on-board diesel generator.
The Lokotrack LT120E electrical system is designed in such a way that it provides the same benefits in operation and maintenance as the hydraulic version.
