Galland 70 years later….

What could be better than the 7710 winch tensioner designed and drawn by Maurice TREVE, founder of the company, to highlight the service offered by the GALLAND company?

 

In fact, this device is still manufactured and assembled in our workshops at La Lande de Fronsac… 70 years later, just as it was originally.

The SNCF installed it to regulate the 1.5KV contact wires as early as 1947. Today, operators of the French electrified network still use this robust and suitable system for new installations and maintenance.

A quantity of 250 devices was again delivered in 2021 by us, to the SNCF infrastructure store in Saint Dizier.

The longevity of this 7710 winch tensioner, which today in a society where planned obsolescence is debated, is proof that the GALLAND company is perfectly in line with the design of sustainable equipment.

The various supplies that enable its production are also part of a network of French partners.

This monument embodies the “French tech” of the 50s…
