The 89’-4” Tilt Flatcar™ is a revolutionary railcar designed to address the logistical challenges of transporting wide plates up to 14’-3”. Featuring a flat steel floor and a fixed steel structure, it enables horizontal loading and tilting to meet AAR Plate C standards. Departing from conventional hydraulic systems, the railcar utilizes an innovative screw jack mechanism inspired by garage jacks for its tilting function. To overcome longitudinal impact challenges, it incorporates a pioneering tent structure that distributes load forces, ensuring rigidity and strength without the need for a traditional bulkhead. Developed with AKB, this innovative design sets a new standard for transporting oversized cargo.
