PLATFORMS

Transportation of goods by rail is carried out by various types of rolling stock. Depending on the nature of the cargo, body structure, methods of loading and unloading, as well as ensuring the safety of goods, they are distinguished: covered wagons, open wagons, platforms, tanks, dump wagons, bunker-type wagons and ref-wagons.
 
The main technical characteristics of a freight car are: container (own weight of an empty car), carrying capacity (the largest mass of cargo that can be transported in it), body volume, area, length and other linear dimensions. The most common types and sizes of wagons are shown below:
 
 
Covered freight car  used for the transportation of goods that require protection from atmospheric precipitation. The car body is a structure consisting of a frame with a floor, 4 walls and a roof. Loading and unloading in universal covered wagons is carried out through doors located in the side walls.
 
 
Internal dimensions (mm):
15724x2764x3050
Useful volume (m3): 138
Payload (tn): 68

Gondola car – designed for the carriage of goods that do not require protection from atmospheric precipitation. Since gondola cars do not have a roof, this allows fully mechanized loading. For the transportation of bulk cargo, there are open-top wagons with hatches in the floor, which allow mechanizing the unloading of such cargo.

 
Internal dimensions (mm):
12690x2890x2050
Useful volume (m3): 75.2
Payload (tn): 71

Hopper (bunker) – a type of gondola car used for mass transportation of fertilizers, cement, grain and other bulk cargo.

For protection from atmospheric precipitation, covered hoppers with loading hatches on the roof are used.

 
Internal dimensions (mm):
5935Х2398Х2327
Useful volume (m3): 81
Payload (tn): 70
Platform – a wagon used for the transportation of machines, equipment, long cargo, containers, as well as bulk cargo that does not require protection from atmospheric precipitation. Container platforms do not have sides and are equipped with special locks for fastening heavy-duty universal containers of any type.
 
 
Internal dimensions (mm):
13300х2770х400
Payload (tn): 71

Platforms for timber transportation – have end walls and additional special racks that prevent the load from shifting.

Internal volume of the body, cubic meters m127
Internal dimensions (mm):
14620x4700x3220
Payload (tn): 71
Tank car – used for the transportation of liquid cargo, liquefied gases and powdery materials.
 
Internal dimensions (mm):
13800x2760x2791
Useful volume (m3): 83
Payload (tn): 67

Dumpcar – used for transportation and mechanized unloading of bulk and lumpy cargo.

Carrying capacity, no more – 80t
Body volume, m³ 44
Body dimensions inside, mm
12978Х2580 Х1271
