KQA/KTA Container Wagon Touax GERS 97752

KQA/KTA Container Wagon Touax GERS 97752

During the 1990's the growing use of 9'6" tall (High Cube) containers was causing problems for freight operators transporting them on height restricted UK railway lines using standard intermodal flat bed wagons. The Tiphook approach to solve this problem was not the conventional solution of lowering the platform and using smaller wheels, instead they designed a latticed platform that sat low down, below the top level of the bogies and a pocket was formed with the slab sides that gave the wagon strength and rigidity. In total seventy five of these wagons were built by Rautaruuki in Finland. They were delivered in two batches between 1997 and 1998 and bore a blue Tiphook livery.
