Transporter wagon
With trolley certain vehicles types in road and rail transport are referred to. The use of the term varies by region.
Road
In road traffic, cars with flat, open cargo ( Flatbed, Flatbed therefore ) be denoted by trolley. The vehicle can be used for the transport of goods of all kinds. The term describes only usable for the trolley assembly. As drive people and draft animals were used originally. A drayman was the driver of a simple rolling cart, pulled by horses. The term rolling carriage never corresponded with the definition of flatbed carriages, possibly with sprung and covered trucks. From the motorized flatbed then the trucks, vans and pickups developed.
Railway
In the railway transport trolleys are used to transport vehicles from networks of other gauge. This eliminates the transhipment of goods to be transported and thus brings a significant cost and time savings. Other systems which are avoid transhipment of goods road scooter for transport of railway vehicles on the road, Roller conveyor for loading andersspurigen vehicles. Higher wages therefore favored in 1900 the introduction of the above systems.
The trolleys are usually designed so that the outer longitudinal beam of the frame serve as a rail for the standard gauge cars at the same time.
For loading and unloading the carts are a blunt end on frame height standard gauge track, called the dolly ramp, moved up. There are also combined designs which allow the loading of dollies and carts alike. When loading the ends of the trolley are supported by chocks to prevent tipping. Some trolley ramps also have on the entire working length auxiliary rails over which the longitudinal members of the trolley come to stand and protect it from the tilting of the car. After fixing the trolley or at the ramp to be loaded cars can be pushed from the standard gauge over or pulled by rope. By pushing together of several trolley several standard gauge cars can be loaded simultaneously.
The standard gauge wagons are uncoupled and secured with wheel chocks and tensioning chains on the trolley. Lorries on two trolley bogie wagons only be fixed on a trolley. The trolleys have either permanently attached full clutches or are pulled apart and coupled with coupling rods.
Freight wagons on trolleys can be assembled into all freight trains. For this, the trolley with the respective braking system (compressed air, suction ), or Heberleinbremse the narrow gauge railway is equipped. The trolleys are coupled by permanently attached full clutches of the respective norm of the narrow gauge railway, or by coupling rods, unloaded in the latter case due to short iron dome. Rarely, for example, in the Swiss Brünigbahn, is the equipment of trolley with automatic central buffer coupling.
Germany
In railways the trolley is a by vehicle, conveyed by the standard gauge wagons on narrow gauge railways (see also Railway Construction and Operating Rules for narrow gauge railways ( ESBO ) § 18 (6 ) ). The common preamble of ESBO for dollies and trolleys is rolling vehicles.
The fact that was mainly responsible for the emergence of trolleys in Germany, was the lack of a coherent narrow-gauge network. It follows that the narrow gauge lines crumbled and disintegrated, so the operating regulations also were not uniform and are in many island businesses. While at Deutsche Reichsbahn per trolley only a two-axle standard gauge car was allowed loaded the Mittelbadische railway company also four-axle oil tank cars to individual carts, which were accordingly made long. In the Reichsbahn were loaded one bogie wagons, where permitted, on two trolleys.
Trolley the Royal Saxon State Railways
The trolley of the Royal Saxon State Railways all had a track width of 750 mm.
Roll German State Railroad Company ( old trolley )
Any information obtained by the DRG 1929-1938 130 four-axle dolly for the Saxon networks had a traverser length of 8,000 mm and were delivered for the most part with Körting brake. A further 26 trolley of these model years already received a 9000 mm long traverser. The trolley of the model year of 1944 with an otherwise identical version all 9,000 mm longitudinal member. The longitudinal beams were formed from U- profiles, which were composed of two double - T beams. Each cross-member and the head pieces were riveted to the side members.
Trolley Deutsche Reichsbahn ( new trolley )
The 1960-1962 procured from the DR trolleys are full welded structures with a 9,000 mm long traverser built for both 1000 mm and 750 mm gauge. The 415 mm high side members extend outward 105 mm above the running rail addition.
Trolley with private railways
Moreover, many private railways were trolleys in use. One of the oldest developments likely come from the Cologne railway car factory van der Zypen & Charlier; first pictures show the use of the vehicles in the Bayer plant railway. The Hohenlimburger small railway began in 1900 such vehicles. Apparently the Dortmund company Both & Tilmann has taken over the production later. Vehicles of this manufacturer, there was next to the Hohenlimburger small train at the Plettenberger light railway, the Iserlohn circular path, the Klb. Hasp - VOERDE - Breckerfeld, was the Wuppertal Railways etc. Supplied in Switzerland, among others a special construction, in which also the running rails have been pivoted in order to navigate particularly close radii. Other manufacturers in West Germany were the Hohenlimbuger Maschinenbauanstalt Boecker & Folk Born and the company Orenstein & Koppel from Dortmund - Dorstfeld. This company had delivered 1960/61, modern, welded trolley with 9.0 m length and air brakes to the Hohenlimburger small train. After the cessation of this track a few copies have been sold to the DR for the industrial railway hall. From the Hohenlimburger stock five cars, the manufacturer Both & Tilmann, Boecker & Folk Born and O & K have been preserved in the Mark Brandenburg Museum Railway in Plettenberg; two of which had been brought back from Halle. Also, the DEV in Bruchhausen- Vilsen and Selfkantbahn have trolleys in their inventory.
Switzerland
In Switzerland trolleys are called rolling stool. They are regarded as full-fledged railway carriages and on both the standard gauge network for the transport of narrow-track vehicles as used by the narrow gauge railways to transport standard gauge vehicles.
Australia
During the re-gauging of the Great Northern Railway in Australia called pickaback trains were used. These trains consisted of standard gauge trailer compositions on which all narrow gauge trains could be loaded and has been used as long as the line was partially normalspurig, partially operated narrow gauge. The loading system was initially in Brachina, but was translocated after completion of construction to Marree, where it was used to load narrow gauge vehicles that had to be moved to Port Augusta in the repair shop.
Japan
After the opening of the Shinkansen traffic through the Seikan Tunnel in 2015, the freight car is 1067 mm must be maintained on this route anyway. To this end, the concept Torein on Torein is developed ( train to train ). There are covered trolley 1435 mm are used, which transport the car is 1067 mm track gauge through the tunnel.
