OUR SERVICE

A better way of rail transportation
for truck trailers

By eliminating the need for expensive special terminals for loading and providing an integrated service from a single source, Helrom is opening up a new way of combining road and rail. With our transport service for truck trailers, greenhouse gas emissions and traffic congestion can be significantly reduced – with flexibility, reliability and operating costs that are comparable to road transport.

Are you interested in the Helrom transport service for block trains or open trains? Then get in touch with us. We will be happy to advise you.

One concept,
two offers

Open train

Allocation according to your needs.
Two Helrom trains run daily on our route between Vienna and Düsseldorf. You book fixed allocations to meet your transport requirements.

Ideal for SMEs.
With Helrom Trailer Rail, we also enable small and medium-sized companies to shift their freight traffic sustainably and reliably. We are opening up the railway to SMEs.

Block train

Integration into the supply chain.
The Helrom Trailer Rail can be optimally integrated into the supply chains of industrial companies. As an exclusive block train, it connects production sites and suppliers. The CO2e emissions of transportation are sustainably reduced.

Route planning and route set-up.
We advise on the most efficient routing, organize suitable transport routes and set up the loading hubs. We also provide daily transport and loading from a single source.

Your transport advantages

Other intermodal models have high barriers for industry and SMEs: lengthy construction of expensive special terminals, inflexible and inefficient route planning and a lack of reliable rail transport. Our completely barrier-free loading and transport from a single source overcome these obstacles.

1
full compatibility
for all trailers

Our barrier-free loading without terminals is fully compatible with all types of truck trailers, including non-craneable trailers and refrigerated trucks. The trailer is uncoupled and moved easily onto the wagon.

2
Low investment costs,
quick start

A level ground next to the track is all that’s required for loading. Construction times and investments in special terminals are eliminated. Entry into intermodal transport is possible more quickly than with other systems, often with just a few months’ lead time.

3
flexible
route planning

The elimination of centralised terminals removes the need for detours to the nearest loading station. Our block trains can be easily and flexibly integrated into supply chains and route planning. They minimise road kilometres and maximise rail kilometres.

4
reliable
punctuality

We are the only intermodal service to handle the entire process ourselves, with our own staff, wagons and locomotives. We travel according to simple schedules with fixed journey times. This means we can guarantee maximum reliability throughout the entire transport chain.

5
personal
contact person

With us, there are no waiting loops or radio silence. Our customer service communicates personally and at eye level. Even in the event of problems, you can rely on fast, reliable communication with your contact person.

6
digital
customer portal

Transportation with Helrom is not a black box. You always know where your trailers are, can manage your bookings online and have digital access to all important information at all times, from transportation to invoicing.

"Helrom’s trains are extremely punctual. Times are adhered to without fail. To date, we have not had a single delay in the train transport of our trailers. Helrom works with the same quality expectation here that we also want to offer our customers."

Davor Sertic
Managing Director of UnitCargo

The globally patented technology of the Helrom trailer wagon enables the barrier-free loading of truck trailers. The pivoting loading pocket allows trailers to be loadad onto the rail within two minutes. A terminal is not required for this. A level ground next to the track is sufficient.
