Train Casting Steel Parts
Mechanical Mount
Mechanical cradles are customized metal structures used to carry heavy cargo during rail transport. Primarily constructed of cast steel, they offer high load-bearing capacity, wear resistance, and adaptability to complex operating conditions. The following is a detailed description:
Core Function
Designed to carry heavy cargo (such as coiled steel and rails) during rail transport, these cradles utilize a customized design to ensure safe and efficient loading, reducing the need for secondary reinforcement and reloading during transport.
Structural Features
Material: Cast steel (such as cast carbon steel and low-alloy steel) ensures structural strength and corrosion resistance.
Design: Optimized design based on cargo shape (such as V-saddles and double-deck platforms) accommodates varying cargo sizes and weights.
Connection: Securely connected to rail vehicles via brackets or rocker structures to ensure transport stability.
Application Scenarios
Coiled Steel Transport: 20-foot platform containers are used, with the bottom V-saddle directly securing the coiled steel, reducing loading and unloading time and preventing misalignment.
Rail Transport: Cradles are installed on flat cars, increasing per-vehicle load capacity through staggered "low-high-low" loading.
Car Transport: The double-decker carriage can accommodate 4-7 cars, with wheels reinforced with tie-down straps for added safety.
