The four-axle Uacs type container wagons are freight wagons for the transport of bulk and dust goods. The wagons are subdivided according to their transport goods: While the Uacs-x are loaded with industrial goods such as coal dust, the Uacs-y are used for the transport of food goods such as soda or flour. The large originals have a special epoxy resin coating on the inside and a pneumatic loosening device. Both types, the Uacs-x and the Uacs-y, have the same basic structure with UIC type Y 25 Cs bogies and a welded base. The trolleys are filled via filler lids on the container roof, which can be reached via catwalks. The trolleys are emptied by a compressed air system.
