METHOD FOR TRANSPORTING GOODS IN CONTAINERS AND THE WAGON FOR TRANSPORTING CONTAINERS

Abstract

A method for transporting goods in containers, wherein the wagon carries two layers of containers, characterized in that the bottom layer comprises containers without side walls. The goods carried in the bottom containers can be loaded and unloaded independently from the goods carried in the top containers. The bottom containers are used for transporting coils. The coils are loaded and unloaded by inserting a coil lifter arm through inner diameter of the coil. A wagon for transporting containers comprising bogies (1) and a platform (2) with side walls (3) arranged between said bogies. The height of the side wall (3) extending over the platform (2) in its lowest point does not exceed 60 cm. The wagon has a side wall (3) extending 55-60 cm above the platform (2). The side wall (3) comprises trapezoid reduced-height sections (4), wherein the side wall (3) extends 40-45 cm above the platform (2) in said reduced-height sections. The side wall (3) comprises a top reinforcing member (5). The side wall (3) and the top reinforcing member (5) are linked with connecting members (6). The height of the side wall (3) is 20-40 cm.

A wagon for transporting containers comprises bogies 1 and a platform 2 with side walls 3 arranged between said bogies. The side wall 3 extends 58 cm above the platform 2.

[0014] Embodiment 2. A container without a side wall is positioned on the bottom layer and a standard container is positioned on the top layer of the wagon. At any stop along the route, all or part of the goods on the bottom container can be unloaded. The bottom container comprises cradles for transporting sheet metal coils. The sheet metal coils are loaded by inserting a coil lifter arm through inner diameter of the coil. A wagon for transporting containers comprises bogies 1 and a platform 2 with side walls 3 arranged between said bogies. A side wall 3 with trapezoid reduced-height sections 4. In the reduced-height sections, the side wall 3 extends 42 cm above the platform 2.

[0015] Embodiment 3. A container without a side wall is positioned on the bottom layer and a standard container is positioned on the top layer of the wagon. At any stop along the route, all or part of the goods on the bottom container can be unloaded. The bottom container comprises cradles for transporting sheet metal coils. The sheet metal coils are loaded by inserting a coil lifter arm through inner diameter of the coil. The side wall 3 comprises a top reinforcing member 5. The height of the side wall 3 is 35 cm.

[0016] Embodiment 4. A container without a side wall is positioned on the bottom layer and a standard container is positioned on the top layer of the wagon. At any stop along the route, all or part of the goods on the bottom container can be unloaded. The bottom container comprises cradles for transporting sheet metal coils. The sheet metal coils are loaded by inserting a coil lifter arm through inner diameter of the coil. The side wall 3 comprises a top reinforcing member 5. Preferably, the side wall 3 and the top reinforcing member 5 are linked with connecting members 6. The height of the side wall 3 is 20 cm.
