AusTube Mills Flatracks

AusTube Mills have just taken delivery of more than 150 flatracks for steel product transport.  They are coded ATMU and are numbered in the 400000 series.  They have only started turning up on PN services this week!

If you think they look like the Infrabuild IFRU flatracks, that is because AusTube Mills is a division of  Infrabuild.  It is most likely these flatracks have come from CSL also.     

These flatracks are painted black and stand at 2.5m high (8'3") at the end posts.  The end posts are collapsible to allow stacking but the centre stanchions appear to require removal before stacking.

It appears that these may be replacing a number of older 42P3 shipping flatracks and possibly also K&S KT and KHS flatracks that have previously moved this product from the manufacturing hubs in Brisbane and Newcastle, although the K&S flatracks were moving Orrcon steel (Bluescope).    

During the week, these new ATMU flatracks have appeared on NY3, BM4, and SM2 services, with clear, black, and no wrapping around the product.  Appears the clear wrap is from Newcastle and the black is from Brisbane.  

These look awesome - Enjoy!
