Rail-mounted transport unit for swap bodies e.g. containers

摘要

The transport unit has two driving heads, each with a drive and several loader wagons for the swap bodies. The unit has at least one first and one second drive source, which are of different construction. The first drive source has an energy accumulator, which permits independent operation of the vehicle for a set period. The second source is operated by continuous supply of outside energy. The first drive source is an IC engine, e.g. one or more Diesel engines (4,4'), which operate an electrical generator (5). The second drive source is mains-connected electric motor (2,2').
