Rail logistics services
Pendulum
The most common form of transport in the metal industry is pendulum traffic, with the wagons designated for the said traffic circulating very efficiently as full train transports between specific departure and destination stations.
Customer Train
A full customer train is an efficient way of transporting a large volume of goods from one place to another at the same time.
Wagon Group
Wagon group transports are suited for the transport of smaller batches (5–10 wagons), and they make use of the national trunk train network. Trunk trains are comprised of several customers’ wagons.
Products transported by the metal industry include:
- Steel products, such as coils and sheets
- Recycled metal
- Railway tracks
- Ores and concentrates
- Other metal industry processed products.
