GLOBAL CENTERBEAM FLATCAR MARKET

 

INTRODUCTION

A flatcar is a type of rolling stock that has an open, flat deck mounted on two trucks or bogies, one with four or six wheels at each end. In some cases, flat cars with unusually large or heavy loads are mounted on a pair of bogies beneath each end.

 

The car's deck may be made of steel or wood, and it may have pockets on the sides for pegs or tie-down points for securing goods. Sliding chain assemblies are recessed into the deck of flatcars made specifically to transport machinery. For cargo that are too big or heavy to load into enclosed cars like boxcars, flatcars are employed. As part of intermodal freight transport transportation, they are frequently utilised to convey intermodal containers or trailers.

 

Specialty cars called centerbeam flatcars, centerbeams, centre partition railcars, or "lumber racks" are made for transporting bundled building materials such dimensional lumber, wallboard, and fence posts. In essence, they are bulkhead flatcars that have been reinforced with longitudinal I-beams, frequently in the form of Vierendeel trusses, occasionally reinforced by diagonal members, but originally in the form of stressed panels perforated by panel-lightening "opera windows," either oval- or egg-shaped.

 

To prevent tipping, these flatcars must be loaded symmetrically, with half the payload on one side of the centerbeam and the other.
