our train logistics
There are different ways to transport goods, just as there are many advantages to shift transportation to rail. Traveling by rail is not only environmentally friendly, efficient and protects the climate, but also has the advantage that you can easily transport large quantities, different types of goods in containers. With rail you have flexible transit times and weight advantage, where otherwise you are limited faster with other means of transport. Shifting transports to rail also has the advantage that the risk of an accident is lower.

Carrier services in the block train area
Carrier services in the block train sector comprise the organization and execution of transports with fully loaded freight trains. As a carrier, we offer our customers tailored rail freight solutions to meet their transport requirements.
We handle the planning, organization and execution of block train transports, including the procurement and provision of locomotives and wagons. We take care of all aspects of transportation, such as organizing loading and unloading activities and complying with all legal and safety regulations.
Our block train carrier services are designed to provide efficient and cost-effective transportation solutions for our customers. We use state-of-the-art technologies to optimize the transportation process and ensure greater visibility and reliability.
Our dedicated logistics experts are on hand to help our customers plan and implement block train shipments and ensure that their goods reach their destination safely and on time.
Advantages:
- Cost efficiency: Transporting goods by rail in block trains is generally more cost-efficient than other modes of transport such as road or air freight. By using fully loaded freight trains, transport costs per ton can be reduced.
- Scalability: Our block train carrier services are scalable and offer a high degree of flexibility in adapting transport capacity to the needs of our customers. If required, we can provide additional wagons or locomotives to increase capacity.
- Sustainability: Transporting goods by rail is an environmentally friendly alternative to other means of transport, as it reduces CO2 emissions and thus contributes to climate protection.
- Safety: Transporting goods by rail is generally safer than other modes of transportation because accidents occur less frequently and theft of goods by rail is less common.
- Reliability: Our block train carrier services are generally more reliable than other types of transport because we optimize the transport processes and offer a high level of transparency and planning reliability.
- Time saving: Transporting goods by rail in block trains can save time, as there are fewer traffic obstructions and congestion on rail than on road.
Transport of dangerous goods
Transportation of dangerous goods by rail is an important part of freight transport, but also involves some risks that must be taken into account. It involves the transport of substances that, due to their physical or chemical properties, may pose a risk to the health of people and the environment. To minimize this risk, special precautions are taken when transporting hazardous materials by rail.
These include the use of special wagons that are appropriately marked and labeled to ensure proper behavior in an emergency. The wagons are equipped with special equipment such as hazardous goods labels, warning signs and extinguishing systems to ensure safe travel. In addition, there are also specially trained personnel who are trained to transport and handle dangerous goods.
As a means of transporting hazardous materials, rail offers a number of advantages over other modes of transportation. Rail has a high transport capacity and can transport large quantities of dangerous goods in one train, which is an efficient and cost-effective solution. In addition, the transport of dangerous goods by rail is safer than by road, as it is better controlled and monitored. Environmental friendliness is also an important aspect, as rail transport has lower CO2 emissions than road transport and thus makes an important contribution to climate protection.
However, careful planning, monitoring and training are required to safely transport dangerous goods by rail. Rail companies must ensure that all safety rules and regulations are adhered to in order to minimize the risk of accidents and incidents.
Advantages:
- Safety: Transporting dangerous goods by rail is considered one of the safest ways of transportation, as rail has strict safety standards and guidelines that ensure safe transportation.
- Environmental friendliness: Transporting hazardous goods by rail is more environmentally friendly compared to other modes of transportation such as road transport, as it causes less greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution.
- Efficiency: Transporting hazardous goods by rail is often faster and more efficient than other modes of transport, as trains can carry larger quantities of goods at once. This reduces the number of transports required and saves time and costs.
- Flexibility: A company that offers dangerous goods transport by rail can offer its customers greater flexibility in planning and executing transports. Special transports can be planned quickly and efficiently to meet customers' needs.
- Experienced employees: Employees working in the field of hazardous materials transportation by rail usually have extensive knowledge and experience regarding the safe transportation of hazardous materials and can thus ensure that shipments run smoothly.
