Shipment and service types
‍in rail freight

Rail transport handles shipments that other modes cannot. From bulk commodities to intermodal chains across Eurasia.

FCL — Full Container Load

Exclusive use of a 20" or 40" container. Ideal for larger shipments over approx. 15 m³ or 10 tons. Direct transport without transshipment of goods.

High Cube

LCL — Less than Container Load

Shared wagon for smaller shipments — you only pay for the space you use. Cost-effective for 1–10 EUR pallets where FTL is not viable. Regular daily lines across the EU.

Consolidation

1–15 m³

Intermodal transport

Combining rail transport with road or sea for door-to-door delivery. Route and cost optimization tailored to each individual shipment.
