Prototype information
The rational, rapid and at the same time careful unloading of these cars at steel plants and coal-fired power plants always was a great challenge for the car building industry. Three tubs can be loaded onto the type Okmm 38 flat cars. The unloading cranes grasp these containers by their hinge bolts in order to lift them, and to unload them they are grasped by the side depressions. These containers open at the bottom and allow a very careful handling of the load, which is particularly important in the case of valuable lump coal and coke. Only two containers are used per car to transport coke due to the low density of the latter as a freight load.
