Flat car for transportation of timber products,
model 13-6852/13-6852-02
Description
New generation rolling stock for transportation of timber products with 74 t of payload capacity and 40 feet loading length is represented by two flat car models 13-6852 and 13-6852-02.
Model 13-6852-02 is implemented in two designs: 1-T dimension with sliding, telescopic posts and 1-Ta dimension with integral posts. An optimal volume of loading space without formation of the freight “heap” is ensured due to posts of increased height.
All models are equipped with constant section side posts, which considerably reduce unused dimensional volume of the rail car when transporting packaged freight and prevent damage to the freight during loading-unloading operations.
Increased terms of between-repairs run, which provide for the reduction of life cycle costs by almost 3 times, are a considerable competitive advantage of the car of model 13-6852.

Ardasher Kurbansho, CEO of Kronospan in Russia
“Our company has worked successfully on the market for more than 120 years, and its products are well known all over the world. Experience and constant commitment to innovation mean that we employ know-how, not just to create new generation products for our customers, but also to provide services for their delivery. By saving time on loading and unloading, and by increasing the safety and reliability of transport we significantly reduce logistics costs. The solutions offered by our partner PRC UWC are up-to-date, professional and meet the high standards, which we require”.
Aleksey Alekseev, CEO Company Group “Vologodskie Lesopromyshlenniki”
“The timber harvesting enterprises of Company Group “Vologodskie Lesopromyshlenniki” supply a wide variety of timber products by rail to both domestic and foreign customers, using different types of rolling stock to optimize transportation. The timber platforms manufactured by TikhvinSpetsMash boast competitive advantages, such as higher payload capacity, loading volume and longer times of between-repairs runs. By using the said advantages effectively, we hope to optimize the logistical expenditures in timber deliveries on the home market”.
Olga Yakimova, Commercial Director and Deputy CEO at VTG Rail Russia
“We are increasing and diversifying our railcar fleet to achieve the targets set to us by our shareholders. Developing our fleet enables us to enter new markets and expand the range of services we offer. Tikhvin cars allow us to meet all of our clients’ needs ensuring reliable freight deliveries and faultless performance of our fleet”.

“Our company handles transportation tasks of any kind. Much of our work depends on acting accurately and using an integrated approach to logistical operations, in particular where it comes to the maintaining the quality and competitiveness of the transported products. Our partnership with UWC has been growing for several years now. The results of operating Tikhvin-produced cars in our fleet have been completely satisfactory, which is why we decided to purchase an additional batch of flat cars for transporting timber. Our business is growing rapidly, and we want to ensure that every solution and technology we are using, is of maximum efficiency.”
Vasily Knyrevich, CEO at Arkhbum
“We are enjoying our fruitful and successful partnership with UWC. Our company rates Tikhvin-produced cars very highly. We hope to continue working together in future”.
Vasily Knyrevich, CEO at Arkhbum
“We are looking to increase the number of newgeneration cars in our fleet as part of the company’s development strategy, as these cars have demonstrated high performance. I can already say from my own experience that the Tikhvin-produced flat cars not only meet our requirements, but also provide a genuine competitive advantage on the market. We look forward to building our partnership with United Wagon Company”.
Vasily Knyrevich, CEO at Arkhbum
“Last year, we raised our freight rail traffic by 19.1% year-on-year and expanded our fleet to 2,500 cars. Our company intends to further develop its fleet mainly with new generation railcars and strengthen cooperation with United Wagon Company”.

Alexey Petrov, CEO at Locotrans
“Given that the market is on a new stage of development, innovative freight cars are indeed the main competitive advantage of the operator. It is important not only to deliver freight, but also to optimize the costs for delivery and freight transportation time. The application of new developments will contribute to reaching a new level of safe and trouble-free operation of freight cars, which will undoubtedly decrease the number of uncoupling repairs and ensure freight safety. That’s why we are committed to using UWC platforms. With innovative freight cars we are ready to transport more freights and over longer distances”.
