Accessory Equipment
- TCS (Train Control System): Receivers are located in the locomotive with the driver. Information is received from the WCS system, which monitors the wagon’s operation, wheel bearings, deviations in the braking system and other aspects of the wagon. With the TCS, the locomotive driver can control loading and unloading on one, multiple or all wagons in the train set at the same time.
- Remote control: The wagon comes with either wireless or with wired controls for loading and unloading the cradle. The lorry driver, the locomotive driver or other authorized train personnel can work the controls. The remote control also simplifies work by maintenance and service personnel since they can control the cradle from a distance.
- Wheel stock sensors: The sensor system discovers early overheating in the wheel stock and prevents malfunction.
- Brake sensors: The sensor system registers when braking effect diminishes and brake components need replacing.
