AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing rail wagons for transporting goods on pallets have limited loading capacity due to a single storage level, despite having sufficient floor area, and implementing additional lifting systems like mobile platforms increases manufacturing and maintenance costs.
Method used
A wagon device with a movable floor that can change height positions, allowing for two-level storage while maintaining compliance with rail gauges, using a lifting system and holding mechanisms to facilitate loading and unloading via lateral sides.
Benefits of technology
The device enhances loading capacity by enabling two-level storage without excessive manufacturing or maintenance costs, optimizing space utilization and efficiency.
