Description

A Step Ahead in Intermodal Railroad Equipment 1989 discusses the best use of Maxi-Stack I and Maxi-Stack III double stack container cars. Maxi-Stack I is made for International container traffic with a capacity of 124,000 pounds per well and capability to handle 2 20' containers or one 40' container in the wells and 40', 45' or 48' containers on top. Maxi-Stack III is considered the Terminal Manager's stack car because it can handle a mix of international and domestic containers. With a 48' well it can handle 2 20' containers or a 40' or 48' container in the well and a 40', 45' or 48' container on top. Its well capacity is 117,000 pounds. It's considered a universal double stack car because of its ability to handle any mix of international and domestic containers. Gunderson Engineering uses NASA based finite element analysis to design the double stack container cars and provides skilled craftsmen and excellent workmanship.
