Technical specifications of freight String Transport System for highly efficient transportation of bulk commodities

Commissioned by String Transport Systems Limited developed the Technical specifications of freight String Transport System (STS) for highly efficient transportation of bulk commodities that can solve the complex task transportation of bulk cargoes of up to 50 million tons per year.

Freight STS may be of several types:

• suspended (a rolling stock is hanged up to the bottom of a string-rail track structure);
• mounted (a rolling stock is placed on the top of a string-rail track structure);
• traction and braking forces are implemented with the help of driving wheels;
• traction and braking forces are implemented with the help of traction rope;
• with electrical contact system or without it (for example, driven by diesel-electric unit).

Each type of freight STS might be efficient for different purposes.
