Supporting structure for the pivoting movement of a rotatable support structure of a freight cars of the combined rails - / roads trans ports

摘要

The invention concerns a pivoting support base (12) for a pivoting railway structure bearing a car designed for combined rail/road transport of a road vehicle load comprising means (25) for supporting and accompanying the pivoting movement of the bearing structure. Said means preferably comprise an assembly of bearing and driving rollers (26) flush with the structure surface (17) of the base for receiving, picking up and continuing to cause the bearing railway structure to pivot. The inventive base can be removed or displaced very easily and rapidly, since it is simply set in an appropriate site of the platform surface. Advantageously, it can also be used as access ramp to the bearing railway structure. Said invention is of particular interest for manufacturers and users of equipment in the field of combined railway/road transport.
