Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of rail transport of goods, more particularly goods on pallets, and relates to a wagon device for the transport of goods on pallets by rail.
  • a wagon In the field of freight transport, a wagon includes a chassis supporting a floor and axles or bogies located at the ends of the chassis.
  • These wagons adapted for the transport of goods, such as bottles for example, more particularly on pallets, are generally flat wagons open on the sides (laterally), possibly covered with a retractable tarpaulin, equipped or not with drop sides or bars verticals placed on the side faces of the wagon to retain the goods. Covered flat wagons opening on the sides (side faces) by means of a sliding tarpaulin (“Rils” type wagons or similar) or sliding walls (“Habbins” type wagons or similar), are also suitable for the loading/unloading and transport of this type of goods, more particularly on pallets.
  • These flat wagons for the transport of goods on pallets are designed to allow lateral loading/unloading of goods on pallets, that is to say through the open lateral sides (or side faces) of the wagon.
  • Loading or unloading operations are carried out using a forklift, also known as a “Fenwick” ® , from or to the platform along which the wagon is stationary.
  • the platform is in most cases at the same height as the floor of the wagon.
  • these railway loading/unloading platforms are located at a height of approximately one meter, or even significantly greater than one meter above or in relation to the level of the rails.
  • wagons with a floor lowered in the central part between the bogies, intended more particularly for the transport of heavy road vehicles are designed for longitudinal (or frontal) or vertical loading and unloading. These wagons are therefore not suitable for allowing, from a loading/unloading dock, the loading and lateral unloading of goods into the wagon and in particular of goods on pallets loaded by a forklift transversely to the wagon.
  • Flat wagons for the transport of goods on pallets designed to allow lateral loading/unloading have a large floor length, while having sufficient width to allow the loading of at least two pallets, called industrial pallets (of dimensions equal to approximately 1200 mm x 1000 mm), one next to the other, at their greatest length, over the width of the wagon.
  • industrial pallets of dimensions equal to approximately 1200 mm x 1000 mm
  • the quantity of pallets (with their goods) that can be stored in these side-loading wagons is limited by the floor area. Indeed, if we take into account the maximum payload of a wagon (around sixty-five tonnes for four axles), the average weight (one tonne) per pallet, the maximum available floor surface and the size imposed by the regulations only allowing storage on a single height (a single level of pallets), it is only possible to load thirty-six pallets, or thirty-six tons. The wagon's loading capacity of sixty-five tonnes is then far from being used in full.
  • the present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks by proposing a wagon device for the transport by rail of goods on pallets making it possible to improve the loading capacity of goods on pallets of the wagon designed essentially for lateral loading/unloading.
  • the wagon device for the transport by rail of goods on pallets, said device comprising a wagon designed essentially for lateral loading, respectively unloading, by at least one of its lateral sides comprising at least one loading/unloading opening, said wagon comprising a chassis, axles and/or bogies at its ends and a floor extending along the longitudinal axis of the wagon, the chassis supporting or integrating, between the bogies or axles, a lowered, horizontal bottom of the wagon and two vertical sides surmounting said bottom, the or each loading/unloading opening extending respectively from and above the upper edge of one of the two sides, characterized in that the floor comprises at least one movable floor part at one or at least two levels (x ) of floor, the movable floor part(s) forming, between the axles or bogies, a part of the floor and each being able to be moved vertically, preferably in translation, so as to be able to modify its position in height between a high position and a low
  • THE figures 1 and 1a show a transverse loading/unloading goods wagon 1' of the prior art. Loading/unloading is carried out by at least one of its lateral sides comprising at least one loading/unloading opening 1'e.
  • the wagon 1' comprises a chassis 1'a, axles and/or bogies 1'b at its ends and a flat loading floor 1'c extending along the longitudinal axis X of the wagon 1'.
  • the wagon 1' is shown in the loaded state with two rows of goods 4 on pallets 5 (or in other words: pallets 5 of goods 4) stored on the floor 1'c of the wagon 1' and on a single storage level .
  • Such a wagon 1' of the prior art can be of the "Rils” or "Habbins" type.
  • This wagon 1 has a large floor length 1'c, while having sufficient width to allow, as can be seen in the figure 1a , the loading of two industrial pallets (for example of dimensions each: 1200 mm x 1000 mm) in their greatest length over the width of the wagon 1'.
  • the G1 template imposed by the regulations leaves, as we can see in particular on the figure 1a , a reduced space G1 above the floor 1'c and goods 4 on pallet 5 which does not allow other goods 4 on pallet to be stacked on the goods 5 on pallet 4 already loaded in the wagon 1' by piling on these.
  • the storage capacity of such a wagon 1' of the prior art is therefore limited and more particularly limited to the storage of a single level of goods 4, such as bottles, on pallet 5.
  • the other attached figures show a wagon device, according to the present invention, for the transport of goods by rail R, more particularly goods 4 on pallets 5, making it possible to remedy these drawbacks.
  • a wagon 1 (of goods) which is designed essentially for lateral loading, respectively unloading (of goods, more particularly of goods 4 on a pallet 5) by at least one of its lateral sides comprising at minus a 1st loading/unloading opening.
  • the wagon 1 comprises a chassis 1a, axles and/or bogies 1b at its ends and a floor 1c extending along the longitudinal axis X of the wagon 1.
  • the floor 1c comprises at least one part 10c, 11c of movable floor at one or at least two floor level(s).
  • the part(s) 10c, 11c of movable floor(s) form(s), between the axles or bogies 1b, a part of the floor 1c and are each capable of being moved vertically, preferably in translation, so as to be able to modify its height position between a high position P2 and a low position P1 and vice versa.
  • the part(s) 10c, 11c of movable floor(s) form(s) a part of the floor 1c, that is to say constitutes only part of it, as can be seen in particular on the figure 2 And 6 , and the other part of the floor 1c can be fixed (fixed floor part 1c) and extend for example above the axles or bogies 1b.
  • the part(s) 10c, 11c of the movable floor(s), as can be seen in particular on the figure 2 And 6 can thus extend substantially in the central part of the wagon 1 between the axles or bogies 1b.
  • the low position P1 of the part(s) 10c, 11c of the movable floor makes it possible to increase the loading capacity of the wagon 1, and therefore the storage capacity in the latter, by vertically increasing the storage space so as to be able to stack the goods 4 on pallets on at least two storage levels, unlike a wagon 1' of the prior art limited to a single storage level, while respecting the size constraints G imposed by the regulations in this field of transport of goods by rail R.
  • the chassis 1a supports or integrates, between the axles or bogies 1b, a lowered, horizontal bottom 10a of the wagon 1 and two vertical sides 1d surmounting said bottom 10a.
  • the or each loading/unloading opening 1e extends from and above the upper edge 10d respectively of one of the two sides 1d.
  • the level of the upper edge 10d of said sides 10a corresponds substantially to the high position P2 which itself corresponds substantially to or is defined by the standard level of a loading/unloading dock Q.
  • the bottom level 10a corresponds to the low position P1.
  • bottom 10a is meant any contact surface, solid or perforated, located in the lower part of the wagon 1 and capable of supporting at least one part 10c, 11c of movable floor at one or at least two floor levels.
  • the bottom 10a can thus form a means for maintaining the lower position P1 of the part(s) 10c, 11c of the movable floor(s) which can come into abutment against said bottom 10a during their descent (see in particular the figures 5 , 6 , 7 , 8d , 9b, 9c , 10a, 10b ).
  • the bottom 10a can be used as a means of maintaining the low position P1, particularly when the lifting system is not on board, comprising a forklift 3a capable and intended to lift the part 10c, 11c of movable floor to put it in the high position P2 and rest it on the bottom 10a to put it in the low position P1.
  • the bottom 10a is located below the level of the fixed floor 1'c of the side-loading wagons 1' of the prior art.
  • the bottom 10a in another comparison, is located below the upper edge of the sides 1d of the wagon 1 extending longitudinally under the lateral openings 1e made in the lateral sides of the wagon 1.

  • the upper part of the arch 17 is adjusted to the lowest position to respect the minimum size G1 (for example when returning to the workshop).
  • the upper part of the arch is adjusted in height so as to respect the GB template (for example for traveling on the main lines.
  • Other templates for example the G2 template (not illustrated), can hereby be considered invention and the upper part of each arch 17 can be provided to be able to be adjusted in height so as to respect this template G2, for example to travel on the lines of the German or Austrian networks.
  • the covering tarpaulin B is installed with a double fold B1, which can be held by a strap, on each of the lateral sides. This makes it possible to vary the total lateral length of tarpaulin B as a function of the height of the upper part of each arch 17 (in particular for French or Spanish networks).
  • This principle of height adjustment of the device for covering and protecting goods on wagon 1 can also be applied in the case of an embodiment with rigid sliding side walls.
  • the height of the side walls corresponds to the highest position of the cover.
  • the lower parts of the side walls of wagon 1 then descend a little lower than the loading level.
  • Such a wagon device thus makes it possible, in particular between (central part of the wagon 1) the two bogies or axles 1b of the wagon 1 thanks to the floor part(s) 10c, 11c movable(s) in the low position (floor lowered) to obtain a storage height allowing the loading of at least two levels of goods 4 on pallets instead of a single level on the fixed floor 1'c of a wagon 1' of the prior art.
  • a wagon 1 according to the present invention of the same length as a conventional wagon 1' in particular of the Rils type or the Habbins type, makes it possible to load fifty-six pallets of 1200 x 1000 instead of thirty-six, i.e. a capacity 55% higher carryover. With a load mass of fifty-six tons (56 x 1 ton/pallet), the wagon's carrying capacity of sixty-five tons is better utilized.
  • the present invention can provide an embodiment of the wagon device according to the present invention in which the wagon 1 is made from a combined transport wagon of the pocket wagon type and comprises a superstructure (or an assembly) S comprising the part(s) of movable floor/boxes 10c; 10c, 11c as well as, in the case where wagon 1 includes the covering and protection device, the covering and protection device for the goods.
  • the superstructure S is configured to be able to be installed/mounted/secured in a removable manner on the chassis 1a of the wagon 1 ( Figure 12 ).
  • Such a superstructure S can be adapted to be secured on the chassis of a conventional combined transport wagon, for example a wagon known as a pocket wagon, by carrying out the securing, for example, using ISO pins known for used for securing containers on wagons.
