Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0727338A2] The unit consists of two length-adjustable double-axle waggons. Each waggon has front bogie sections, and container locking bolts (4), e.g. for a 40' container (1) and two at least (22') swap bodies (2). The waggon length (15) is smaller than the overall length of the two swap bodies, and is determined by the distance between the two outer corner fittings (3) of the bodies. The distance thus created between two individual waggons (5), and further distances created by the combination of other containers and bodies, is bridged by long coupling rods (6). These are length-adjustable, or rods of different length may be used.
