Wooden profiles were also used for the cross members. This design promised a smoother run for high-quality cars. The wooden cross members to hold the turntable pans were also reinforced with angle iron. Due to the large wheelbase, trusses with adjustable tie rods were added to support the outer longitudinal members. The buffer beams were built entirely from rolled sections. As a towing device, the wagons had screw couplings with safety hooks according to VDEV, the drawbar was spring-loaded throughout. The wagons were equipped with rod buffers with an installation length of 650 mm, the buffer plates had a diameter of 370 mm.
