The invention pertains to a transfer system (2) for horizontally and transversally transferring a freight container between a railway freight car (52) and a vehicle (66). The transfer system is placed on the vehicle and comprises at least two grabber arms (4) which are movable only in a direction transversal to the longitudinal extension of said vehicle. The movement of the grabber arms is accomplished by an endless chain (6) driven by a drive wheel (8) connected to a drive motor. Two tensioner wheels (10) are placed at each side of said drive wheel, where said tensioner wheels cooperate with the chain in such a way that one or the other tensioner wheel causes a tightening of the chain in dependence of whether the chain is driven in one or the other direction. The invention also pertains to a method of transferring a freight container between a railway freight car and a vehicle. |
