Looking along the open green loading pocket of a trailer wagon: the empty trough in the foreground, a loaded semi-trailer beyond it, the locomotive at the head of the train.
The loading pocket swings out, the semi-trailer runs in and out lengthwise — ground level, no cranePlan view of a track with a T-Railer wagon. A semi-trailer stands on a level, surfaced area beside the track, squared up to the line of the loading pocket. To load, the pocket swings out of the track axis about a pivot at one end, until its open end faces the surfaced area. The trailer is pushed in lengthwise, rear first, through that open end. The pocket then swings back into the track axis with the trailer aboard. Unloading runs the same sequence in reverse: the pocket swings out again, the trailer runs back out lengthwise onto the surfaced area, and the empty pocket swings back into the track axis. The underframe and bogies stay on the rails throughout. No crane, no transhipment terminal.

One concept, two offers

Open train

Allocations to match your demand

Book fixed allocations flexibly and reliably on connections planned to run several times a week. It puts modal shift within reach of small and medium-sized businesses too.

Block train

Built into your supply chain

Dedicated trains link production sites and suppliers. We advise on routing, organise the transport routes and set up the loading points — all from a single source.

Digital handling

Booking and dispatch, digitally

Bookings, allocations and shipment status are managed digitally. For every shipment you can see the last reported status — no phone call, no chasing.

On request we connect your transport management system via interface, so bookings and data stay where your team already works.
