TRANSPORT WAGON HAVING AN INTERFACE FOR COMPENSATING HEIGHT RELATIVE TO THE GROUND, MAINLY ACCORDING TO THE WEIGHT OF THE LOAD TO BE TRANSPORTED

摘要

The invention relates to a transport wagon (1) for transporting at least one load which includes a linking structure (2) and two end rolling rail assemblies (3) and (4) on which the latter rests, characterised by having at least one interface (32) for adjusting the height of the lowest portion of the wagon between the end assemblies (3) and (4), mainly according to the weight of the load to be transported and the condition of the wagon, in order to obtain for each load an almost-constant low level of the low portion that exists between the end assemblies and, in particular, the lowest acceptable level according to the rail gauge. The invention is useful for manufacturers of wagons for general freight transport as well as for intermodal transport, for example rail/road.
