Vagon Shimmns-z

Wagon is destined for transport of steel plate coils which are loaded in horizontal position and have to be protected from atmospheric influences. For protection there is a folding tarpaulin on supports, guided on little wheels along wagon sides. Closed tarpaulin can be locked on wagon ends. In upper part of tarpaulin there is anti-condensation layer which prevents falling of condensate on steel plate coils.
In opened position of tarpaulin, 2/3 of wagon loading length can be uncovered.

Wagon is equipped with saddles for steel plate coils acceptance. On saddles there is a mechanism for coils side moving protection.

Wagon complies to UIC, RIV and TSI regulations.
