A four-axle Fals 24 Ve coal railcar is designed for transport of coal, coke and loose materials with similar own bulk density. The railcar's cargo space is 69 m3. The railcar is loaded and unloaded by means of gravity respectively by using special bucket or conveyor belt devices and via open walls (discharge flaps) of its body, which are opened by manually-operated unloading mechanisms. The railcar can be unloaded from each side individually or from both sides at once by manipulating the unloading mechanism.
