Flat Type
Flat Type
Flat type wagons are essential for transporting bulky and long industrial goods such as rolled steel sections, rails, steel coils, and shipping containers. Their open, flat design makes them ideal for heavy, large-sized loads that cannot be transported in enclosed wagons. These wagons are widely used in the steel, construction, and shipping industries for efficient, large-scale transportation of goods.
Key features include:
- Carrying Capacity (Payload): Ranges from 35 MT to 68 MT, depending on the variant.
- Material of Construction: Typically constructed from Mild Steel (MS) or a combination of Mild Steel and Stainless Steel (IRS ), ensuring the durability required for carrying heavy loads.
- Loaded Speed: Varies from 65 Km/h to 100 Km/h, depending on the wagon variant, ensuring timely delivery of goods across vast distances.
Performance and Speed Capabilities
Flat wagons are designed for both high-capacity loads and impressive speed, ensuring that large goods reach their destinations efficiently. The BRN and related variants for steel transportation operate at loaded speeds of 65 Km/h to 100 Km/h, depending on the weight and variant. Similarly, the BLC and BLA wagons for container transport can travel at speeds of up to 100 Km/h, making them ideal for long-distance logistics while ensuring the safe and timely delivery of containers or industrial goods.
Popular Flat Wagon Variants and Their Applications
Different variants of flat wagons are designed for specific purposes, optimized for handling various industrial goods. Here are some of the most popular flat wagon types and their typical uses:
- BRN Wagon (Mild Steel): Primarily used for the transportation of long and heavy goods like steel rails, rolled steel sections, and coils. These wagons provide a robust platform for handling oversized loads, offering ease in loading and unloading.
- BRNAHS Wagon (Mild Steel): An enhanced version of the BRN wagon, designed to carry even heavier loads and suitable for transporting longer steel sections or bundles.
- BRHNEHS Wagon (Mild Steel and IRS ): Combining Mild Steel with IRS materials, this wagon is optimized for maximum durability and capacity, perfect for carrying both steel coils and rolled sections over long distances with high reliability.
