TUNNEL LINING TROLLEY

Tunnel lining trolley

Applications

The fully automatic hydraulic needle beam trolley is used for full-section concrete lining in circular, horseshoe-shaped and other hydraulic tunnels. A longitudinal needle beam provides the load-bearing and guiding core, surrounded by segmented forms. A central hydraulic system operates form setting, stripping and movement within the casting cycle. Xinhang coordinates the trolley configuration around lining geometry, tunnel diameter changes and casting length, checking needle beam span, panel divisions and hydraulic expansion and retraction together.

Xinhang features

01 Needle beam core with alternating support

The needle beam supports the forms and serves as the travel track. The forms and beam are anchored alternately and move relative to each other for self-propelled stepping, reducing manual handling and repeated track assembly between cycles.

02 Central control of hydraulic setting and stripping

Grouped cylinders expand and retract the crown, side and invert forms. Screw jacks lock the positioned forms and share the load. Setting and stripping are controlled from a central console to support consistent lining geometry and thickness.

03 Full-section casting with a coordinated cycle

The invert, sidewalls and crown are formed in one casting operation. Stripping follows the crown, sides and finally invert sequence, coordinated with working windows, vibration and crown grouting.

Technical applications

Panel details coordinated around the structure and construction method.

01

Needle beam and frame roller system

Check needle beam length and stiffness against form length. Upper and lower roller assemblies and the frame carry loads alternately; verify beam deflection and centreline deviation during travel.

02

Panel divisions and joints

Segment crown, left and right side, and invert forms to match tunnel curvature. Bolt and trial-fit panels to check steps and joints, with separate panels for curves and diameter transitions.

03

Hydraulic movement and positioning locks

Grouped cylinders control opening, closing and lifting. Recheck centreline, level and section after positioning; casting loads are verified in the project-specific scheme.

04

Uplift restraint and crown grouting

Assess uplift and asymmetric casting loads separately. Coordinate hold-downs and tie systems with the casting sequence, and provide crown vents and grout ports to suit the method.
