Sleeper transport vehicle

Abstract

A sleeper transport vehicle has a loading area which includes a lower supporting loading plane and an upper supporting loading plane, wherein in each loading plane a guide is arranged in which pallets are guided in the longitudinal direction of the sleeper transport vehicle, wherein, at a front side, a transfer area is arranged into which the guides protrude in order to pass along during a working operation pallets with new sleepers in one loading plane to a further sleeper transport vehicle or loading/unloading vehicle arranged at the front side, and to receive pallets with old sleepers in the other loading plane. In this, it is provided that in each loading plane a pushing device for pushing the pallets along the guide is designed as at least one circulating chain protruding into the transfer area, and that coupling elements are arranged on the pallets for temporary coupling to the chain.
