Core Features
- Weather Protection: Fully enclosed structure with airtight hatch sealing, shielding cargo (grain, corn, soya, wheat, DDG, etc.) from rain, snow, dust, and humidity.
- Efficient Loading: 5 independent top covers (1094mm×600mm) with manual operation via a non-slip top platform, ensuring safe and convenient top-loading.
- Precise Unloading: 3 side-operable sliding bottom doors (685mm×325mm) for independent control, enabling low-spillage discharge between rails; optimized hopper angles prevent cargo sticking.
- Superior Performance: Light tare weight (≤20t) maximizes payload ratio; cast-type bogie and AAR brake system ensure stable operation at 80km/h.
Compliance & Compatibility
Fully meets AAR standards (structural integrity, brake performance, coupler compatibility) for seamless integration with global compliant rail networks.
