Loading (mega-) trailers easily onto rail
TX Logistik, an affiliate of Mercitalia, has presented the third generation of its Nikrasa technology. The solution, which can load also non-craneable semi-trailers easily onto rail, has already been tested in rail and terminal operations. The newly designed 3.0 version requires no terminal ramp, is stackable and has been once again optimised for the rail transport of mega trailers.
TX Logistik added the route connecting the Cologne North terminal (Germany) with the Interporto Bologna terminal (Italy) to its time table at the beginning of last year.
It runs via the Gotthard axis, which enables companies to transport semitrailers with a corner height of 4 m by rail through Switzerland. In addition to mega-trailers, the service can also carry swap bodies and containers. (ben)
