How Combined Transport works

In combined transport, different modes of transport rail/ship (for long hauls) and trucks (for pre- and onward carriage) are optimally combined.

LKW WALTER charters long-term fixed capacities on ferries and trains – from single wagons (pocket wagons) to complete trains ("company trains").

This is how it works

Our transport managers organise the feeder services (pre-carriage) by truck to the Combined Transport terminal/port with specially trained drivers.
The entire trailer is lifted onto the train or towed onto the ship. Your goods are not transshipped!
The trailers cover the main route to the destination station or port by rail or short-sea shipping transportation.
Upon arrival at the destination station or port the delivery feeder service is carried out by truck (on-carriage).
Using GPS positioning, our transport managers track the transport from initial pick-up to delivery.
