Cost-efficient transport with less environmental
impact offers shorter lead time and cheaper alternative
With our specialized rail services, we transfer your transport to rail - throughout the African region.
And all this with unbeatable efficiency in terms of economy and CO2 emissions. In addition to our rail services between dispatch and receiving stations, we handle all pre-and post-carriage in combined transport.
There are a number of significant advantages to utilizing rail freight forwarding over other shipping methods. Two major benefits to our clients are time optimization and cost savings. While road freight forwarding is a popular method of over-the-road transportation, the weight and size limitations of trucks mean that complex trips must be taken if the shipper is sending an out of gage component one or thousands of miles. This means additional costs for fuel, specialized trucks, security, delays, possible, and bottlenecks along the way.
Capacity
Our railcars are specially designed and engineered to produce gains in carrying capacity. Each car is manufactured using steel, making it lighter and able to handle heavier loads. Our depressed deck design allows the transportation of taller cargo.
Innovation
Challenging moves require innovative solutions. Our rail team has designed counterweights and turntables in order to move components that don't fit the typical transport dimensions, allowing for a greater range of motion during transport.
Engineering
We understand the complexity of specialized transport. Our engineering team sets out to diagnose the most efficient way to handle your project by providing route surveys, stress analysis and reports, detailed clearances, and transport drawings.
Expertise
Our rail team consists of former engineers, pricing specialists, site supervisors, and project managers with over years of rail experience. We have a 100% success delivery rate and handle rail moves annually.
