Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9924303A1] A rail wagon having a fifth wheel coupling arrangement (56, 72) which has a carriage (56) supporting a coupling element (72); the carriage is arranged to be movable freely in a longitudinal direction of the wagon on a track (17) mounted to the wagon. Preferably, the coupling arrangement is arranged to be moved for stowing from the track to a stowed position on the wagon (Figure 8). The arrangement enables the wheels of a trailer or semi-trailer to be secured for longitudinal movement on the wagon which reduces the stress on the trailer during transport on the wagon.
