Abstract
EN: The goal of the article is to evaluate the possibility of improving the design
of an open wagon body in order to improve traffic safety when transporting cargoes
whose height is beyond the upper belt of the side wall (cargo loading with a “hat”). To
achieve it, the authors have proposed a variant of a pull-out bar in a wall rack. In lazy
state such bars located inside racks, but during transportation of timber, pipes etc they
are pulled out above the wall upper belt to prevent cargo from rolling out. These bars
are quite light (mass of one pull-out bar is equal to 3 kg, that corresponds to 36 kg of an
additional equipment per a wagon), but they considerably facilitate fixing cargo in an
open wagon replacing additional wooden fixing racks. It also makes the transportation
more reliable due to elimitation the possibility of skew and jamming of fixing
equipment. Strength of the proposed element and the entire wagon side wall is estimated
with the finite element method. The proposed bars withstand normative loads, and holes
in the upper belt for them do not lead to desrease of the wall carrying capacity.
