Fs Logistix launches a new solution for extraordinary transport on intermodal trains.
FS Logistix, through its German subsidiary TX Logistik, and the Dutch specialist in exceptional transport Van der Vlist have launched a new rail solution for the transport of out-of-gauge cargo on intermodal trains. The first shipment involved the transport of two air platforms from the Quadrante Europa terminal in Verona to Rostock.
Thanks to this new solution, out-of-standard loads can travel on existing intermodal trains without resorting to dedicated convoys or extraordinary planning. An innovation that represents a significant step towards making rail transport between Italy, Germany, and northern Europe increasingly flexible.
TX Logistik currently operates the Rostock–Verona route with 16 weekly trains, eight in one direction and as many in the other, offering rapid rail connections between Italy and Germany, with the possibility of continuing to Scandinavia. In the first shipment, the two air platforms were destined for a Van der Vlist customer in central Sweden. After arrival in Rostock, the units continued by ferry to Trelleborg and subsequently by road to their final destination.
“This solution opens up new opportunities for customers seeking more flexible and reliable rail transport of out-of-gauge cargo – stated Sabrina De Filippis, CEO of FS Logistix – by combining the technical solutions developed by TX Logistik and FS Logistix with the experience of Van der Vlist in exceptional and special transport, we are able to offer robust and scalable rail solutions, simplifying planning and ensuring high operational reliability along the main European corridors.”
The new Van der Vlist bolster system, recently patented, is used to load the out-of-gauge units. This is a special railway platform on which large machines – such as excavators, air platforms or agricultural vehicles that cannot be loaded into containers – are fixed and secured for transport on a rail car. “With this innovative system, we have achieved another milestone in the development of our rail solutions,” commented Martin van Dam, Managing Director of Van der Vlist Logistics.
The service is possible thanks to the authorization to operate with the “Large Intermodal Profile,” which allows the transport of out-of-gauge loads up to 2.990 millimeters in width on regular intermodal trains, within the P400 loading gauge. Unlike special trains, this solution guarantees greater reliability, as convoys can be easily diverted in case of disruptions or works on the network, without the need for new authorizations. Out-of-gauge units are loaded using the patented Van der Vlist bolster system, perfectly integrated into standard combined transport operations.
The next phase of the project involves extending the service with internal rail transport in Sweden, using trains operated by TX Logistik AB, one of the main intermodal rail operators in the Swedish market. In addition to Sweden, TX Logistik and Van der Vlist are planning further joint connections to extend this rail solution to other European corridors.
