A Zagro shunting device seen at the RIM
(Rheinisches Industriebahn-Museum Köln-Nippes) on 12 October 2003. It is a
very cheap possibility to shunt freight cars if you already have a forklift (as
most companies which handle significant amount of materials do). The forklift
transports the device to the track, sets it onto the rails and drives onto the
device. A gear inside tranmits the driving forces from the forklift's wheels to
the rail wheels.
