ABSTRACT:
A system is provided embodying a platform spaced on runners which is movable into and from a railway car having one entire side open when the hinged side is raised. This produces the most economical use of a closed car as it can be moved to an unloading dock where the mechanism of the system is advanced beneath the platform within the car and raised to free the platform from the floor so that it and its load may be withdrawn. The car is then advanced to a loading dock where a similar mechanism is employed having the platform loaded so that it and the platform can be advanced into the car and lowered onto the floor permitting the mechanism to be withdrawn and the side of the car closed and latched.
