RailMac K18BK Iron Ore Hopper Wagon
The K18BK Iron Ore Hopper Wagon is a specialized rail vehicle designed for efficient bulk transportation of iron ore and other dense granular materials. With a loading capacity of 60 t and a loading volume of 60 m³, it is precisely engineered to match the high density of iron ore, ensuring optimal cargo utilization and stable loading conditions.
As part of SinoMac, RailMac provides full life‑cycle services for the K18BK Iron Ore Hopper Wagon, including design, system supply, installation, commissioning, after‑sales training, spare parts supply, troubleshooting and overhaul support, ensuring stable and efficient performance throughout its service life.
Advantages of K18BK Iron Ore Hopper Wagon
The side walls of the wagon are strengthened to meet the requirement of wagon dumper unloading.
Because iron ore powders are fine particles, adjustable rubber gaskets are installed on both sides and bottom edge of the bottom door to prevent leakage of goods.
The hopper wagon uses type K2 bogies whose bolster and side frame are made of grade B cast steel. LZ50 steel axle and HDSA integral rolled steel wheel or HDZC integral cast steel wheel are adopted to make the wagon more stable during operation.
The main components of the wagon are made with O8CuPVXt and O9CuPTiRE-A weather-resistant steels, which effectively extends the wagon’s service life.
