These private wagons are usually employed in block trains for the transport of timber offcuts, sawdust, salvaged paper and old textiles, between sawmills, paper factories, and recycling plants throughout Europe. |
The wagon is loaded from above (opening 12.37 metres x 2 metres), has a load capacity of 182 cubic metres, and may be covered by a net or a lid. Unloading is effected by large side flaps patented by Railtrans which may be opened from above or below. The load is normally pushed out and falls into a bunker. By virtue of this ingenious construction handling times are kept to a minimum |
