These cars are designed to carry multiple heavy containers. Due to the open deck construction, the light weight capacity has been kept very low, there by increasing the loaded capacity of the car. These cars can carry two 40' containers or four 20' containers. They are ideally suited for municipal waste business and designed to accommodate 12' high containers.
