Abstract (en)

The invention relates to an anti-pitching device for semitrailers destined both for use on the road and for loading on railway cars. The semitrailer (5) comprises a vertical pivot (1) projecting from a flat face (2) of a frontal part (3) of the trailer frame (4), which pivot (1) is associable with a fifth wheel of a hauling vehicle. The railway car exhibits means for fixing containers to the car, comprising spikes (10) for blocks (9) affording engagement holes (14) for the spikes (10). The device (18) comprises four rigid supports (11) bearing the blocks (9) and constrained to the frame (4) and distributed on the two opposite sides (9) thereof. Two of the four supports (11) are located on the front part (3) of the frame (4) and are conformed such as to support said blocks (9) at least during road transport of the semitrailer (5). <IMAGE>
