CA 2006605

An articulated railroad flat car for transporting four short or three long semi-trailers comprises two units connected by a drawbar. A plurality of semi-trailer hitches are mounted on the units. The hitches are suitably spaced for securing either three long trailers or four standard trailers, using overhead loading or circus loading. When three long trailers are loaded, the middle trailer is attached to a hitch on one of the units and has its tandem resting on the other unit. The unit on which the tandem rests has a widened floor section at its end adjacent the drawbar to accommodate turning or skewing of the tandem when the car negotiates a curve.

Wagon plat articulé pour le transport de quatre semi-remorques courtes ou de trois semi-remorques longues composé de deux unités raccordées par une barre d'attelage. Plusieurs attelages de semi-remorques sont montés sur les unités. Les attelages sont écartés de façon adéquate afin d'arrimer trois remorques longues ou quatre remorques standards, en utilisant le chargement aérien ou le chargement en bout. Lorsque trois remorques longues sont chargées, la remorque du centre est arrimée à l'attelage sur une des unités pendant que son tandem repose sur l'autre unité. L'unité sur laquelle repose le tandem a une section de plancher élargie à son extrémité adjacente à la barre d'attelage pour accommoder les virages ou les désalignements lorsque le wagon négocie une courbe.
