ELECTRIFICATION SOLUTIONS
CLever
Alstom's new cantilever for easy installation
and maintenance
CLever was designed by
Alstom as part of its Cariboni
feeding systems offer,
through its in-house centre
of excellence for
electrification components
based in Lecco (Italy). An
innovative cantilever for
main-line railway offering
high adjustability, easy
installation and
maintenance.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
CLever is Alstom's new cantilever for 25 kV railway electrification. CLever was designed to
deliver reliable performance for speeds up to 300 km/h. This innovative cantilever solution
benefits from Alstom's extensive experience in the field of electrification systems and
components.
CUSTOMER BENEFITS
High adjustability
Easy installation
CLever allows for high adjustability, both
horizontally and vertically, addressing a
large number of configurations with the
reduced number of parts.
The reduced number of connections allows
for easy and quick installation. CLever also
offers reduced encumbrance for use at
bridge approach spans.
Reduced weight
Easy maintenance
The tube and main parts are made of
aluminium alloy, seamless and with a cross
section designed to reduce the weight and
increase the mechanical strength.
The reduced number and interchangeability
of the parts lead to significantly easier
maintenance and reduced material
stockholdings.
