Sliding wall wagon SBB Cargo

In practically all European railway administrations, the twin-axle sliding-wall wagons of the type Hbbi(ll)ns(s) are currently the standard wagons. This wagon is ideal for the transport of weathersensitive, large-volume and palletised cargo. Different design variants were produced under the type designation Hbbillns or Hbbins (without partition walls for transport protection). Compared to our previous sliding-wall wagon models, the most distinctive feature of this wagon type is the absence of the narrow canopy at the apex. The 'U'-shaped release levers at the front ends are also a typical feature of these wagons. The prototype of our model was first built by the wagon construction company in Niesky (Saxony) for the Ahaus Alstätter Eisenbahn AG (AAE) and can be found in the wagon fleets of ÖBB, SBB, AAE, BDZ, CD and GySEV. The design permits fast and economical cargo handling and ensures adequate cargo protection. With its sliding-wall system, the vehicle guarantees optimum accessibility of the loading area from each side with forklifts, pallet trucks, etc. Loading and unloading from above by crane is also possible. A large loading width and loading height due to optimum utilisation of the UIC external frame are characteristic of these wagons. The loading area can accommodate up to 44 EURO pallets. Hbbillns-type wagons are equipped with up to six bulkheads, which serve to additionally secure the load against longitudinal displacement inside the wagon. However, while the wagon protects the cargo against the weather, it has no ventilation or temperature control. The vehicle can be used freely on the RIV-Bahn network.
