Increase your productivity
Nordlift Touch ™ control system help you to set the lifting anvil easy and accurate to the manufacturer's recommended lifting point. Each column has push buttons or remote control for this setting drive.
Each column send load and height data to the central unit. PLC at the central unit use this as a so-called zero level. When lifting up the column set, you do see from the central unit information like: Columns lifting height compared to the zero level, fault diagnosis, etc.
Nordlift TH -lifting speed is a class of its own compared to the mechanical lifts. In practice, it has been noticed that Nordlift TH lifting jacks do save lot of working time: 1 hour per lifting cycle.
More working space, easy to move
Nordlift lifting jacks are with very compact structure. Thefore you do have more space for the work itself. The columns are moved on the rails or on the concrete floor, either by hand or by an electric motor.
At TH version the columns are with an electro-hydraulic power unit of their own. The columns are connected only by a thin cable containing control data and the power supply. No heavy cables laying on the floor. No connection cables under the vehicle itself. No risk for damaged cables.
Maintenance free construction, long life product.
Nordlift TH -with hardly no wearing components compared to mechanical lifting jacks. This means long life cycle and low maintenance costs. One day service per year is sufficient.
Nordlift means also quality screw type of lifting jacks.
Nordlift TR Screw Jack; Features and Benefits
- TR columns with capacity of 8-25 t. Columns in one set; up to 28 pieces
- One lifting jack is suitable for all types of rail vehicles: for different type and for different manufacturers locomotives, wagons and full trains combinations

One lift for the whole fleet
Nordlift-lifting jacks are equipped with an electrically or manually adjustable lifting anvil or with lifting point specific adapters. As a result, one and the same lifting jack is suitable for entire train combination and metro trains, track machines, locomotives and so on - regardless of manufacturer, model or age of the fleet.
Nordlift TH lifting jack capacity can be, for example, 20 x 20 t = 400 t (train combination), or 4 x 30 t = 120 t (locomotive maintenance).
Safe in all circumstances
Nordlift Triple Safety System ™ means three time secured, continuous and automatic working safety system. Hydraulic lock valve, an independent working mechanical safety catch system and Parachute valve will keep the lift safely hold up under all circumstances.
Nordlift Level ™ - syncronization monitors the progress of the lifting/lowering and correct any differences between the columns with +/- 4 mm tolerance.
Less than 70 db sound level - No exposure to noise.
Lower power consumption and requirements
Nordlift Eco ™ technology allows for nearly 70% less power consumption. TH-column requires only a 1.5 kW - a lifting speed corresponding to the screw jack 4 kW. The result is a significantly lower connected load.
Lifting jack tailor-made for the workshop
Nordlift Oy delivered to VR's depot in Helsinki a set of lifting jacks from the TH-Series, which was tailor-made for lifting Stadler's trains. Stadler installers in Helsinki tested the lift and recommended these lifting jacks further for Stadler trains depot in Tallinn, Estonia too.
Nordlift is the first manufacturer in the world for electrohydraulic lifting jacks - since 2002. Nordlift electro-hydraulic jacks have been chosen already by a number of railway companies in Belgium, Greece, Estonia, Finland and Senegal.
Leading companies do trust on Nordlift quality.
Leading companies trust on Nordlift design and tailor made solutions; Alstom, ABB, Bombardier, Stadler, Valmet Automotive, VR Group and Wärtsilä.
Our products meet the EU quality requirements, and the lifts only use European, high-quality components. Our planning, product development and manufacturing are all located in Sodankylä, in Finland – since 1978.
