Transverse end structure to enable rail-road conversion of a transport unit

摘要

Transverse end structure for a road transport unit to enable it to be converted from rail to road use, characterised in that it comprises, in the vicinity of each of its ends, coupling means and locking means for vertical and horizontal reception allowing, alternately, coupling and locking by vertical displacement of the loaded road transport unit (5) and coupling by longitudinal relative translation of the bogies (7) with respect to the road transport unit (5). This invention is of relevance to workers in the road and rail transport industries. IMAGE
