Covered bulk freight wagons with controlled gravity unloading and two wheelsets.These wagons are suitable for transporting bulk goods that need to be protected from the weather. They are equipped with a trackside discharge device that allows for controlled unloading of the freight. Most vehicles have an interior coating, which is characterised in particular by protection against contamination, more favourable unloading behaviour (slippage) for goods that flow with difficulty and improved corrosion protection for aggressive cargo. Priority cargoes are fertiliser, lime and coke.
Please note: Type is similar to the wagon in the photo. For exact dimensions, please refer to the drawing and the data below.

Additional information:
The wagon is intended for transporting all kinds of moisture-sensitive bulk goods, such as salts and fertilisers. The transport of coarse-grained or angular, heavy goods (e.g. gravel, slag, ballast) is not permitted due to possible damage to the inner coating.The underframe and the wagon body are welded structures using rolled steel sections and sheet metal. Both parts are welded together.The wagon has two platforms that are accessible from both sides. Both platforms are equipped with a rung ladder. The sliding gates and the lateral sliding roof are actuated from the operating platform.The degree of inclination of the hopper-shaped wagon body enables complete self-unloading.The wagon is unloaded into underground bunkers or onto conveyor belts via sliding gates and movable extension chutes. A pawl lock can be used to lock the sliding gates in the various positions, enabling controlled unloading. The actuators of the extension chutes are located in the middle body support on the side wall between the sliding gates and are guided by connecting links.
The wagon is equipped with a single-shell lifting-swivelling roof. The roof is raised before being swivelled, then swung off to the side, exposing the entire width of the loading opening. When closed, the roof is secured against unintentional shifting.Moving the freight wagon with the roof open is not permitted.
