Rail containers for double stacking pallets
Nestlé UK & Ireland is planning to increase its freight capacity on trains and introducing a new type of container. The new curtain-sided rail container with a raising roof is designed to transport double-stacked palletised products by rail.
With this design, the container overcomes an important barrier, as the height of road trailers differs from rail containers due to the height constraints of the rail network.
A hydraulic raising roof mechanism allows the company to double-stack its food and drink products. The roof is then lowered to just above the height of the stock, making it compliant with the height requirements of rail transport, while being able to get more products on board. (ben)
