Locomotive and wagon transport: rail project cargo

As a freight forwarder, we coordinate the transport of the locomotive on multi-axle trailers adapted to the weight and the centre of gravity of the rolling stock, through the verified partners in our network. We start from the real technical parameters of the locomotive, with securing at its specific lifting points, and for units of 80 to 130 t we organise abnormal load transport with permits and a dedicated route survey.

We choose the equipment according to the length and the mass of the rolling stock, usually multi-axle trailers or low platforms that keep the overall height within the size limits. For wagons with typical lengths between 12 and 25 m we use extendable configurations, and the final decision is taken after the route survey, so that we can confirm access all the way to the depot.

We coordinate loading and unloading at locations without a railway line, using cranes of the appropriate capacity or ramps, depending on the geometry of the equipment and the space available at the delivery point. We prepare the manoeuvre from the planning stage, together with partner teams that have specific experience in rail equipment, so that positioning in the depot or workshop is done safely.

For transports exceeding the maximum mass or size limits we handle obtaining the special permits from the road administrators in every country crossed, along with the movement approvals required. The dedicated route survey checks bridges, tunnels, roundabouts and depot access in advance, so that the transport is confirmed without surprises along the way.

The cost depends on dimensions, weight, route, the permits required and any escorts, which is why we calculate the price from the concrete parameters of the rolling stock. Send us the type of rail equipment, the point of departure and the destination, and the dedicated project manager will prepare a personalised project quote.

Yes, we coordinate door-to-door delivery, from the collection point to the depot, workshop or rail infrastructure site, with a single point of contact throughout the project. On some routes we combine the road segment with rail or sea sections, depending on local restrictions, with CMR insurance included, adapted to the value of the equipment carried.
