 TravelMaster
Frequency inverter controlling

TravelMaster
• Accurate operation under load 35
Low-sway action with speed adjustable to any
value in the range

• Protective working
Soft starting and stopping reduces stress on the gearing
and wheels, thus reducing wear on the wheels and rails.

• Low maintenance costs and

short maintenance times
Long service life for wheels and rails and practically no
wear on the brakes results in lower maintenance outlay, with

drastically reduced maintenance costs and use of materials.

Advantage: gentle operation ensures

reduced wear and increased profitability.
