- front
- rear
- couplingHeight: This is the coupler height (horizontal axis) above rail surface given in metres.
- pullingForce: This is maximum force in Newton the coupler can withstand when pulling the vehicle.
- pushingForce: This is maximum force in Newton the coupler can withstand when pushing the vehicle.
