Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0463283A1] In a railway transport car for road vehicles which has two bogies (1, 2), one at each end, and a fixed frame (6) that consists in a pair of parallel beams (6a, 6b) interconnecting two flat car bodies (6c, 6d) mounted each by way of a spherical bearing (40) to a relative bogie, the road vehicle (5) is loaded onto a rigid cradle structure (4) resting on the flat car bodies (6c, 6d) at either end, which can be elevated by a platform (7) positioned centrally beneath and permanently associated with the deck of the cradle, and rotated thus between an inboard position and an outboard position, supported during the manoeuvre by a single slewing mechanism (9) coinciding axially with its centre of gravity (X) when loaded; in addition, the platform (7) and the beams (6a, 6b) are connected through a mechanical interlock (60), in such a way that the elevating movement of the cradle causes the beams to lift and flex, distancing the flat cars (6c, 6d) from each other longitudinally to gain increased clearance. <IMAGE>
