KF60AK Side-Dump Rail Car

RailMac KF60AK Side-Dump Rail Car

The KF60AK side-dump car is a 4-axle railroad freight car with a loading capacity of 60 metric tons. This car can be used to carry iron ore, ballast, coal or other bulk goods on the standard gauge (1435mm) railroads.
The cargo carrier of the side-dump car can be tilted to any side for 45°under the action of the hydraulic cylinders set on both sides of the car body, and the side walls can be lowered down for the convenience of goods unloading.
As part of SinoMac, RailMac provides full life‑cycle services for the KF60AK Side-Dump Rail Car, 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 KF60AK Side-Dump Rail Car

Equipped with a 60 t loading capacity and 29 m³ loading volume, the KF60AK is purpose-built for rapid bulk material discharge. Its specialized side-dump mechanism enables efficient, one-side unloading, significantly reducing station stop times and improving overall logistics cycle efficiency—ideal for high-volume, quick-turnaround transport of aggregates, ores, and construction materials.
With a heavy tare weight of 33.8 t and a 23.45 t/axle load rating, the car features a rugged frame and undercarriage designed to withstand harsh loading and harsh operational environments. The 0.49 MPa cylinder pressure ensures reliable and powerful side-dump operation, while the 13652 mm long body and 3229 mm width maximize cargo retention, making it suitable for heavy-haul routes.
Boasting a maximum running speed of 120 km/h and a full-load braking distance of ≤1400 m, it balances speed with safety. The precise braking control meets strict mainline rail safety standards, ensuring timely stops even under full load. The 45° max tilting angle further enhances stability during high-speed travel and curve negotiation, reducing ride dynamics risks.
The car operates on the standard 1435 mm gauge, with a negotiable minimum curve radius of 145 m. This design allows smooth navigation through complex track alignments, including both main trunk lines and intricate branch lines. The 8900 mm bogie center distance and 1830 mm fixed wheelbase ensure stable running across diverse rail networks, supporting versatile deployment.

Q1: Do you have the design capability to provide customized railway vehicles?

A: Yes, we have a professional technical team and are familiar with international railway standards such as UIC, AAR, EN, etc. We are able to provide railway equipment according to customer requirements.

Q2: The Chinese railway gauge is 1435 mm, but the railway gauge in our country is 1000 mm. Will this be a problem for you?

A: Of course not, we are able to design railway vehicles with different gauges, such as 1435 mm, 1000 mm, 1067 mm, 1520 mm or other required railway gauges.

Q3: Compared with your competitors, why should I choose you?

A: Tieke Railway was transformed from China Railway Freight Car Factory in 2016. The company has more than 10 years of experience in railway vehicle manufacturing; now, as Tieke Railway is a private company with modern market management strategies, our services are flexible, considerate, and the cost is more controllable.

Q4: What should I provide to get your quotation?

A: You can send an inquiry with detailed drawings, product photos, detailed technical parameters or demand description. Complete demand input is very important for us to provide you with an accurate quotation.
