A contactor assembly for connecting a mobile machine to a plurality of conductor rails may include a base having a length, a width, and a height, and a top surface, a bottom surface, a first side region, a second side region, and a central region between the first and second side regions. The contactor assembly may further include at least one conductor terminal located in each region of the base, with each conductor terminal including a bottom surface exposed at the bottom surface of the base. The central region may be offset from the first and second side regions along a height direction.

A device applies flowable antifreeze to a contact wire of an overhead line, from which an electrically driven vehicle draws off electrical energy via a current collector. The device includes: a holder extending from the vehicle in a direction of the contact wire; a transfer roller, oriented horizontally and transversely with respect to a vehicle longitudinal axis, axially-rotatably coupled to the holder, and capable of contact with the contact wire; and an open container for the antifreeze below the transfer roller and partially enclosing a circumferential surface of the transfer roller so that the transfer roller wettable with the antifreeze supplied via the container via a rotational movement. The device controls the rotational movement configured to limit a circumferential speed of the transfer roller so that the transfer roller rotates more slowly than in a case of sliding-free rolling along the contact wire.

A mobile platform includes a frame, drive wheels, an energy storage device, and an energy interface device. The drive wheels that support the frame propel the mobile platform on rails along a path without contacting other vehicles that travel along the same path in the same direction, in the opposite direction, or while one of the mobile platform or the other vehicle is stationary. The energy storage device is supported by the frame. The energy interface device is configured to transfer energy to and/or from the energy storage device and an offboard energy device.
