The side unloading hatches are characteristic for these cars. They can be opened upwards. The load can thus be unloaded directly to the side of the track. These cars were built in 1991 and the RhB has 10 units on its roster. These 10.44 meter / 33 foot 11 inch long and 21 metric ton cars can load 22 cubic meters or 34 metric tons
