Loading on the platform with special adapter plates for securing the load. CASTOR containers and transport chassis are transferred to a road flatbed trailer as one unit by means of a crane and vice versa. The fixing points for special attachments are accessible after opening the upper covers that can be moved lengthwise. A suitable crane is for instance the Liebherr mobile crane LTM 1400 or similar or the DB 150/160t rail based crane by Krupp (Goliath) or some stationary cranes. In 1986 four of these special cars were built and marked as class 6168 for the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DDR). After the DB took over the DB AG changed the designation to class Uaais 819.
