Drawing unit of the combined loading traffic for railway transport of self-supporting and not self-supporting containers and / or interchangeable containers

摘要

The unit has a telescopic, central, axial beam (3) with three or more parts, which is fixed at each end to a bogie (2) with a single axle (1). The central part (5) of the telescopic beam has a component (4) to accept a container, and has equipment to maintain symmetrical beam extensions (6), and to lock the extensions in position (17). The component has a box-like edge support (19) with two or four container locking pins (20) on each side, and the telescopic beam can be adjusted preferably to three different lengths. At the shortest length, a container with end fitting separations of 20 or 30 feet can be accommodated symmetrically on the unit, and can be retained by two pairs of locking pins on the bogies.
