    摘要: A covered railroad car includes a car body having a pair of sidewalls and at least a pair of parallel horizontal support beams extending along each of the sidewalls at substantially the same vertical height. An interior deck portion is pivotally connected to the pair of support beams so as to move about a pivot axis on each respective support beam and a pair of brackets are coupled respectively to each of the support beams. A pair of spring-loaded lift assist mechanisms are coupled respectively between each one of the pair of brackets and the interior deck portion and spaced apart from the pivot axis so as to provide a lifting force causing the interior deck portion to pivot about each pivot axis.

    摘要: A railroad car includes a body having a pair of side walls and at least a pair of parallel horizontal support beams extending along the side walls at substantially the same height. A movable end portion of a deck built as a lightweight composite structure may pivot with respect to the pair of support beams. A respective counterbalance apparatus is arranged between each of the pair of side walls and the movable deck portion at a location spaced apart from the pivot axis so as to provide a lifting force acting on the movable end portion to urge it to pivot upward about the pivot axis.
