Trains and rail vehicles of all kinds have become high‑tech systems. When, beyond sleek design and comfortable functionality, the focus in railway construction shifts to maximum safety for passengers and staff, the choice of materials becomes crucial. This applies to fire protection–and equally to environmental protection.
As a long‑standing development and implementation partner for mechanical engineering and enclosure systems used in long‑distance trains, underground trains, suburban rail, trams and railway construction machinery, we apply our expertise to deliver first‑class solutions–always with Schinko’s commitment to safety, sustainability and economic efficiency.
Our commitment: safety, sustainability, and economic efficiency.
A modern cab, e.g. in railway construction machinery, consists of a wide range of assemblies.
The following points provide insights into Schinko’s interior equipment. Click through and explore!
Operator’s cab
Vibration‑isolated, durable and equipped with everything railway construction machinery requires–from mounting points for essential cable routing to monitor and speaker fixtures: the load‑bearing frames of the cockpit structure combine high resistance with optimised use of space in the tightest environments.
Operator’s cab
Housings and mounts accommodate monitors, displays and all operating elements. Additional add‑on enclosures for customer‑specific integrations can also be realised. Throughout the design, attention is given to operator‑optimised sight lines, easy service access and efficient heat dissipation.
Operator’s cab
Operator’s cab
Switches, buttons, lights, displays and more are arranged logically according to operational workflows and can be positioned to suit customer‑specific requirements–ensuring ergonomic and efficient machine operation.
Operator’s cab
Adaptive operating solutions: control consoles with joysticks and pushbuttons can be integrated directly into the seat. Operators keep all elements within reach in any seating position and have every display and control element in clear view.
Operator’s cab
Glare and sun protection for focused work: roller blinds are positioned to suit window areas and sight lines, and are neatly integrated into the cabin cladding.
Operator’s cab
Arm and hand rests made from durable leather–positioned on the control desk or the seat–create a high‑quality working environment and are ergonomically designed for continuous, long‑term use.
Operator’s cab
A seat that suits both the control desk and the operator: adjustable in height, tilt and position, sprung for long‑distance operation, and mounted for optimised sight lines with a clear view of screens–with all control elements always within easy reach.

Driver’s Cab
Vibration-decoupled, resilient and equipped with everything railway construction machines need – from fixings for necessary cable routing to monitor and speaker mounts: The supporting frames of the cockpit structure combine resilience with optimized space utilization in the tightest of spaces.
Driver’s Cab
Housings and mounting brackets accommodate monitors, displays, and all operating elements. Custom-designed enclosures for necessary customer-specific integrations and add-ons can also be produced. Particular attention is paid to user-optimized sight lines, easy service access, and optimized heat dissipation.
Driver’s Cab
Wall, ceiling and technical cladding, which also takes into account seamless component transitions, provides protection for electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic components, protects employees from noise and accommodates monitors, speakers, lights or air conditioning technology.
Driver’s Cab
Switches, buttons, lights, indicators, displays, etc. are arranged logically according to operation and can be placed according to customer requirements – for ergonomic and efficient machine operation.
Driver’s Cab
The driving console is ergonomically designed, with all control elements arranged for ideal space utilisation, clear sight lines and immediate reach.
Driver’s Cab
Glare and sun protection for concentrated work: Roller blinds are arranged to match window surfaces and sight lines and neatly integrated into the cabin cladding.
Driver’s Cab
Arm and hand rests made of durable leather on the control panel or seat ensure a high-quality workplace and are ergonomically designed for continuous use.
Driver’s Cab
A seat that fits the console and operator: height-, tilt- and position-adjustable, sprung for long-distance use, mounted with optimized sight lines and a good view of screens – controls always within easy reach.
Driver’s Cab
Control desk, seat, operating and display elements, claddings: Schinko equips the entire driver’s cab. Functionally separated from the operator’s cab, all necessary operating and display elements for the driving functions of the railway construction machine are integrated–designed for long distances, safe, ergonomic and fully compliant with standards.

Driving consoles in the driver’s cab, ergonomic control stations for rail vehicle operators, operating elements within the vehicles, control technology and switch cabinets, rail‑vehicle kitchens, staff rooms or enclosures for hydraulics, electrics and pneumatics–take a breath! Machines, systems and enclosure solutions of all kinds, especially in rail‑vehicle construction, must achieve an enormous amount today–and they must be both lightweight and robust.
To reduce weight, we use lightweight and composite materials, or we create components with honeycomb structures. We know exactly how things work in railway construction–based on 30 years of experience. And with numerous products already implemented for our railway‑construction customers, we are flexible and fast in execution.

Typical applications for our railway‑construction customers: engineering, production and assembly are provided by Schinko.
Ergonomically designed for focused work–with integrated screens for ideal space utilisation and sight lines.
Workstations for rail‑vehicle operators that combine comfort and functionality.
Robust, intuitive control units–tailored to the demanding everyday conditions of railway operation.
Built in accordance with standards, flexibly adaptable–with mounting plates and a well‑designed interior layout.
Equipment designed for personnel that is lightweight and durable, while also meeting fire protection requirements.
Protective systems in lightweight construction–with optional honeycomb structures for maximum stability at minimum weight.
Surfaces must feel pleasant to the touch and also make a strong visual impression.
In railway construction, they must additionally withstand extreme weather conditions, vandalism and even fire.
When it comes to fire protection, only materials that comply with the European standard DIN EN 45545 are used in rail vehicles, eg.
Necessary extinguishing systems and temperature‑control elements are integrated directly into the plant system by the Schinko development team. And through all of this, it’s important to keep a cool head in railway construction–which is something we do anyway.
Decades of collaboration with railway‑construction customers enable a deep understanding of customer needs from the ground up.
Stable and lightweight construction, with an individual performance package depending on the required development depth.
Thanks to available black‑box models, project workflows become faster, clearer and more efficient.
