SAR Class SH-11 (Side B) |
| Description: |
Class SH-11 (SHLJ-11) wagons entered service in 1982 and are flat wagons with solid decks and retractable twistlocks designed to transport 4 x 10ft, 2 x 20ft or 1 x 40ft containers as well as heavy road vehicles. For the road vehicle transport role each wagon comes with two bridge beams (absent on this one) that are stowed on the sides, and with a tie-down equipment storage bin that is accessed through a hole in the deck. None of these wagons have buffers to prevent container doors from being opened, probably as a result of their dual role.Number range 23 023 554 to 23 024 291, Length between couplers 14.482m, Length over headstocks 12.190m, Length between bogie pivot centres 9.290m, Deck height 1.090m, Width 2.600m, Tare (average) 20,240kg, Load 48,000kg, Deck area 27.5m3. |
