Abstract

The invention relates to a displacement device for the horizontal displacement of heavy loads, especially of derailed rail vehicles or the like, having a lifting cylinder and a preferably hydraulically driven displacement mechanism, which allows the position of the load raised by the lifting cylinder to be varied, the lifting cylinder (2) being borne by a slide (6) which is horizontally movable, preferably in two opposite directions, the slide being disposed displaceably on the surface of a support and the piston rod (11) of a displacement cylinder arrangement being fixedly connected to the support without the one end of the piston rod (11) being latch-locked to the support in a displacement-dependent manner.
