Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0273354A2] Railway freight cars are to be provided with a device which allows lateral loading and unloading of trucks without complicated driving manoeuvres. The loading time is to be reduced considerably. It should be possible to produce ramps which are required for this purpose without great expenditure. The undercarriages of the freight cars are provided with platforms (1), below which rollers (2) are mounted which roll in U-shaped rails (3) transversely to the longitudinal axis of the freight car. The U-shaped rails have extensions (14) which can be folded down and rest on a ramp situated next to the freight car. The platforms are rolled onto the ramp. When a truck has driven up, the platforms are withdrawn onto the freight car again. In order to be able to use the space on the freight car better, the platforms are divided into platform segments (1). Due to the rapid and simple loading, transport over short routes becomes viable. Wherever railway tracks are available, urban roads can be kept free from heavy goods traffic. <IMAGE>
