Known handling systems for freight cars, especially in switching yards, are disadvantageous in that despite the general good steerability the trailer car cannot be positioned exactly enough with respect to the wheel and axle sets of the freight cars to be handled. The aim of the invention is therefore to make it possible to exactly position the freight car, thereby facilitating a wear-reduced operation of the handling system while specifically utilizing the trailer car. To achieve this aim, the invention uses a system of wheel and axle set sensors (9) on the trailer car (1) which recognize both the speed-relevant approach to a wheel and axle set (8) and the optimum handling position. The information acquired by these sensors is used for the precise actuation of the drive of the trailer car. |
