Steiermärkische Landesbahnen have modernised some of their covered goods vans. Body sides have been removed completely and replaced by two metal sliding doors. The front ends were retained in their original condition. The large sliding doors now enable loading of the van with pallets by means of a fork lift running on a ramp. In addition, the G/s 109 has been fitted with a trapezium truss to prevent the underframe from bending under heavy loads. The van is unbraked but has a vacuum brake line running along its entire length.|
