FIELD: transportation.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a lifting system (20) for installing on rails a rolling stock unit, in particular, a locomotive (1). It comprises a profile beam (15) of the rolling stock unit frame structure, passing at the front end (8) of the rolling stock unit across its longitudinal axis, as a lifting point (16) for the lifting device. In addition, it comprises a gripper (21) lifted and lowered by the lifting device, with two hook-like gripping arms (22), the hook-like profile of which corresponds to the profile beam (15). Wherein the gripping arms (22) are engaged symmetrically with the longitudinal median plane of the rolling stock unit for lifting and lowering the rolling stock unit due to picking up the profile beam (15) from below.

EFFECT: as a result, a lifting system has been created to install a rolling stock unit on rails, in which a lifting device positioned frontally in front of the rolling stock unit is attached.
