Ore Cars
Built to move material, shift after shift. From compact single-axle cars to heavy-duty units running on two independent bogies, our ore cars are configured around how you load, haul, and dump — not the other way around.
- Capacity (m³)
- Up to 15
- Gauge (mm)
- 550 – 1 200, or configurable
Why our ore cars
-
Choose your opening mechanism
side-tipping, bottom-dump, or end-tipping, matched to your loading and unloading process and site layout
-
A size for every duty
from compact cars for tight, low-tonnage sections to heavy-duty units built for maximum payload
-
Heavy-duty, two-bogie configuration
our largest cars run on two separate bogies with four wheelsets, giving the stability and load distribution needed for the highest-capacity haulage
-
Built for abrasive, high-impact duty
wear-resistant construction designed for constant loading impact and abrasive ore, not occasional use
-
Fits your fleet
coupling and gauge configured to run with your existing locomotives and rolling stock, whichever type you already operate
Technical description
Every ore car is built around a welded steel body, reinforced where loading impact and abrasive wear are highest. Opening mechanisms are selected to match your operation — side-tipping and end-tipping cars suit manual or gravity discharge, while bottom-dump configurations suit high-cycle, fast-turnaround operations where speed of unloading matters most.
Smaller and mid-sized cars run on a single two-axle chassis, matched to the same wheel and coupling standards as our locomotives. For the heaviest duty, we build cars on two independent bogies with four wheelsets total — spreading the load across more contact points for higher total capacity without exceeding axle load limits, and improving stability through curves and over uneven track.
Coupling, gauge, and dimensions are configured to integrate directly with your existing fleet, whether that's a new Locoproject locomotive or rolling stock already in service on your site.
Basic parameters
We build ore cars to the capacity, gauge, and dimensions your operation needs — up to 15 m³ capacity, with gauge from 550 to 1 200 mm or fully configurable to your site. Typical configurations range from small single-axle cars for light-duty haulage up to heavy-duty two-bogie units for high-tonnage sections.
