Axle load and axle pressure<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]In contrast to road transport where the axle pressure is around 10 tons, this is much higher in rail freight transport to up to 22.5 tons per axle. A rule of thumb is: Western Europe 22.5 tons of axle pressure (D). Eastern Europe 20 tons axle pressure (C). When a country allows 22.5 tons of axle pressure, the wagon must also be suitable for 22.5 tons of axle pressure to transport this tonnage.<\/p>\n

For extra heavy loads, the ton-meter weight is also looked at. However, this only plays a role when the ton-meter weight exceeds 6.4t per meter (at C and D countries), which is exceptional.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

In principle, the rail operator or operator provides the correct wagon for certain cargo or container. However, this gauge must be monitored for swap bodies and trailers. A four-meter trailer will only be allowed to drive on a track section where it is so-called. P-400 profile applies. The restrictions are often imposed by old works of art still present on and in the track. Think of tunnels and viaducts. In England in particular, there are major deviations in this tunnel regime.
