Light swap body improves carriage of heavy coils
Move Intermodal, Belgium, has added 100 Kaessbohrer coil swap body vehicles to its fleet. The light coil swap body K. SWAU CC with a length of 13.7 m was designed and produced by Kässborer in corporation with its customer Move Intermodal to increase the efficiency of coil transportation.
“Regularly, heavy coils were loaded onto the train with the help of 7.62 m swap body vehicles. However, those swap body vehicles caused losses due to inadequate inner height and loading space in length during return freight,” said Luc Driessen, CEO of Move Intermodal.
With the help of the walls inside the coil well, heavy coils can be carried without the use of stanchions, which simplifies operations and saves time. (ben)
