Presentation of the container wagon,
Container wagons are used to transport goods. In addition to its chassis and traction components, these wagons can be equipped with stanchions and sideboards to support and retain heavy loads.
Invulnerable to the elements (rain, snow..) and equipped with a reinforced structure, these wagons were robust and could transport heavy goods (metal bars) or light goods in large quantities (straw under tarpaulin, insulating materials..).
Other specific wagons were subsequently created, such as:
- lowered flat wagons "wagons-chars": lowered chassis for loading large products
- container-carrying wagons "wagons squelettes": fitted with standardised fixing pins for transporting containers or swap bodies. Had a chassis that was as light as possible and made - solely of metal sections.
- log-carrying wagons: for transporting logs or logs
- sheet-carrying wagons: reinforced chassis for transporting thick, heavy sheet metal or foundry parts.
- chassis wagons: 45° inclined chassis for transporting wide parts
- moving crossbeam wagons: for transporting long products
