For the transport of heavy bulk containers, the freight wagon rental company AAE, now part of VTG, required four-axle container flat wagons with a load capacity of 70t. With the existing 60-foot units of the type Sgns 60, the middle compartment would have to remain unoccupied when loaded with spoil bins. For standard container traffic, AAE had a sufficient number of flat wagons available, which is why they decided to shorten older Sgns 60 and reintroduce them as Sgmmns 173 with only 40 feet of usable length. AAE had more than 100 wagons converted. The four-axle wagons can accommodate one container with lengths of 40 and 30 feet, or two 20-foot containers. The new wagons were initially used in the construction logistics around Stuttgart 21, as trains transported the spoil to Amsdorf in Saxony-Anhalt, among other places. Since several sets were no longer needed for construction traffic, the short four-axle wagons are now used for normal container traffic.
