Established in 1862 in Bihar, Jamalpur Workshop has a rich history of manufacturing and maintaining railway equipment. In the 1980s, Indian Railways identified the need for more powerful breakdown cranes to handle heavier rolling stock and improve accident response times.
In 1981, the Railway Board decided that future breakdown cranes should have a lifting capacity of 140 tons on broad gauge tracks, leading to the induction of 140-ton capacity Gottwald-design diesel hydraulic cranes.
Gottwald-Old Design Cranes (1986–1987):
Gottwald-New Design Cranes (1998–1999):
Subsequently, Jamalpur Workshop undertook the indigenous manufacturing of these cranes.
✅ Solution:
Check if solenoid 11MY21 is energized.
Inspect brake valve 7.2 for sticking.
Test pilot valve 17 (should be 30 bar).
Check spool port pressure (25–30 bar).
Confirm pressure at shuttle valves (5, 6, 8, 9).
Clean or replace solenoid, shuttle valve, motor, or brake valve as needed.
Resolve any air locking issues

✅ Solution:
Inspect solenoids 31MY21 & 31MY22.
Check relays, limit switches, wiring, and SLI status.
Make sure 4Mo (M2) spool operates at 30 bar.
Eliminate air locking.
Overhaul lamina brake or replace derrick motor/gearbox if needed
✅ Solution:
Arrest any leakage in the system.
Check non-return valves (No. 37, 46) in pilot circuit (Q5 & Q9 pumps).
Clean and refit valves; replace if damaged.
Inspect flow regulator (No. 21); set flow to 15 l/min.
Check gauge No. 33 and replace if faulty.
Verify Q5 pump flow (15–23 l/min) at different RPMs.
Replace defective Q5 pump or coupling.
Adjust pressure regulator valve (No. 28) to 30 bar; replace if damaged
