30t Bogie Ballast Hopper Wagons For Sale

Designed for carrying up to 30 tonnes of ballast or shingle in specially designed reservoirs (hoppers). These hoppers can carry a volume of 18.3m3 and release their payload directly onto the trackside/cess area. Hopper wagons are ideal for carrying loose material to be delivered on site, as there is no need for any additional lifting equipment.

Buffers are standard type coil-sprung retractable buffers. These buffers use demountable saddles to retain the buffers in the deployed position.

The drawgear is designed for use with drop head buckeye couplers. The drawgear incorporates a multiplate elastomeric cushion pack. With the buckeye coupler in the lowered position the drawgear presents an RCH style hook allowing the vehicle to be coupled using a screw-link style coupling arrangement.

The wagons are fitted with a twin pipe automatic air brake system supplied by Westinghouse. The system features gradual release with two state load compensation triggered at one bogie by a plunger operated load valve giving tare and laden changeover brake performance. Each wagon has two separate body mounted combination cylinder and slack adjusters for each bogie. Back to Freight Wagons
