Well Type

Well Type

Well type wagons are specifically designed for the transportation of heavy steel coils, offering a secure and efficient solution for industries like steel manufacturing and construction. Their unique well-shaped design provides enhanced stability and load distribution, ensuring the safe handling and movement of large steel coils. These wagons are commonly used in operations that require the transport of large, cylindrical loads over long distances.

Key features include:

  • Carrying Capacity (Payload): Up to 56 MT, depending on the sub-variant.
  • Material of Construction: Made from Mild Steel, Stainless Steel (IRS ), or a combination of both to offer strength, durability, and corrosion resistance for long-term use in industrial applications.
  • Loaded Speed: Ranges from 75 Km/h to 100 Km/h, enabling timely and efficient transportation of heavy steel coils.

Performance and Speed Capabilities

Well type wagons are engineered to not only carry heavy steel coils but also maintain high-speed performance to ensure efficient logistics. With a loaded speed ranging from 75 Km/h to 100 Km/h, these wagons are capable of transporting steel coils across long distances in a timely manner. Their construction and design allow for the secure positioning of cylindrical loads, minimizing the risk of movement or damage during transit, while optimizing performance in industrial transport operations.

Popular Well Wagon Variants and Their Applications

Well type wagons come in various sub-variants, each designed to optimize the transportation of steel coils, ensuring safe handling and efficient movement. Below are the most popular variants and their typical applications:
  • BFNS Wagon (Mild Steel): This variant is used primarily for transporting steel coils. Its well-type design ensures that the coils are securely positioned during transit, preventing any movement or damage.
  • BFNV Wagon (Mild Steel & Stainless Steel): Designed with a combination of Mild Steel and IRS materials, this wagon offers increased strength and durability, making it ideal for long-haul transport of steel coils, especially in environments requiring corrosion resistance.
  • BFNSM Wagon (Mild Steel & Stainless Steel): A more advanced variant, the BFNSM wagon is built for heavy-duty use, designed to handle larger steel coils with enhanced stability and safety features. It’s a preferred choice for transporting oversized loads over long distances.
