Covered bulk freight wagons with controlled gravity unloading and four wheelsets, especially for transporting foods and feeds. These wagons are suitable for transporting bulk goods that need to be protected from the weather. Loading takes place via a one-part lateral sliding roof. They are equipped with a trackside discharge device that allows for controlled unloading of the freight. Possible cargos are grain, soy, sugar and feeds. The wagons are equipped with a special food-safe interior coating. A particular advantage of these wagons is that they minimise dust generation during loading and unloading operations.

Please note: For exact dimensions, please refer to the drawing and the data below.

Additional information:

Type Tadgs 959.0 wagons may only be used for food and feed transport. The wagons can be unloaded either to one side or the other, or to both sides simultaneously. The controllable discharge rate enables unloading onto conveyor belts. The swivelling discharge chutes allow the wagon to be used for unloading in bunkers or onto lateral conveyor belts.

The underframe is welded from rolled steel sections (St 52-3). The wagon body is also welded. St 52-3 with added copper has been used for the 3 mm thick body plates.
Four eccentrically mounted rotary valves are positioned in each side wall. Each valve can be opened and closed individually with a hand lever from the platform.

The bottom edges of the fixed discharge chutes are 720 mm above top of rail when the wagon is empty. The bottom edges of the movable discharge chutes are 385 mm above top of rail when swung out with the wagon empty.

To load the wagon, the lateral sliding roof is opened from the operating platform with a hand wheel. This exposes an opening with a width of 1,200 mm that extends the entire length of the wagon. The open roof remains within the vehicle gauge so that shifting movements are possible even when the lateral sliding roof is open.

Cargo residues may only be removed from the loading or unloading lane by lightly knocking on the outer container walls with a rubber hammer or by using air blow lances in the loading space!

For the operation of the wagons, DV 975/2 must be observed.
