The railway wagon with a low flat rotatable loading floor was analysed in the paper. Such a structure can be used for transporting various types of vehicles such as tractors, trucks, trailers, semitrailers, cargo containers. The railway wagon allows quick and fast loading and unloading without any platform infrastructure or terminals. Only a hardened flat surface is required. Each railway wagon can be loaded-unloaded individually (no cranes needed). This construction has a wide range of application and is easy to operate. The model of a railway wagon consisted of standard carriages, undercarriages, and a rotatable loading floor was developed. The model was built of rigid solids. Between individual elements of the model, the appropriate joints and contact connections were created. The model was analysed using MSC Adams code, which allows performance of the 3D kinematic - dynamic analyses of the entire model. The analyses were carried out with use of the model of the loaded semitrailer. Passage of the railway wagon with a trailer on horizontal rails, which are the smallest standard arc with a radius 250m, was simulated at different speed. Reactions occurring in couplings of the rotatable loading floor, which are the main element of connection between the rotatable loading floor and motionless undercarriages part of the frame of the wagon, were tested. The maximum velocity at which the railway wagon can move was analysed as well. There was also examined the speed at which the wheels separate from the rails, what results in derailment of the whole wagon.
