ABSTRACT:
A mobile apparatus for loading and transporting an assembled track section and for laying the track section on a track bed comprises a track section hoisting device comprising an elongated carrier frame extending in the longitudinal direction of the track bed, pairs of lifting jacks spaced from each other in said direction, and drives for vertically adjusting the lifting jacks between a retracted position and an extended position in which the lifting jacks support the carrier frame on the track bed. An elongated transport car for supporting an assembled track section and the hoisting device is movable in this direction independently of the hoisting device. The elongated carrier frame and transport car each are comprised of two parts connected by a pivot between their opposite ends for pivoting the parts relative to each other about a vertical axis. Track-bound undercarriages and vertically adjustable off-track undercarriages are arranged adjacent each end and the pivot of the transport car, and one of the pairs of lifting jacks is arranged adjacent the pivot of the carrier frame.
