Advantage The wagon goes to the warehouse,
The wagon goes to the warehouse,
not to the station
Without your own spur the scheme looks like this: the wagon arrives at a public station, where it has to be unloaded within the allotted time, reloaded onto trucks, driven to the warehouse and received again. Every transfer means time, money and the risk of damaging the cargo.
Delivery onto the premises
The wagon comes right up to the warehouse, inside the complex's guarded perimeter.
Unloading under a roof
A covered siding: no rain or snow on the packaging, and the cargo doesn't freeze during unloading.
No transfers
The intermediate haul from the station disappears, along with its cost and risks.
Straight into the records
After unloading the batch is entered in the WMS and put away by address without a second receiving.
Less downtime
The crew, equipment and space in the receiving area are ready for the scheduled arrival.
Further along the chain
Storage, picking, labelling or shipping by truck — all on one site.
What it gives you One unloading
One unloading
instead of three operations
The larger the volume and the longer the haul, the bigger the cost difference compared with road transport.
The wagon goes straight to the warehouse.
Unloading takes place under a roof all year round.
Building and finishing materials, packaging, rolled metal, equipment, industrial products — large uniform batches.
Who it's for When a wagon is better

than a truck
The rail scheme pays off with large uniform batches and long hauls.
Rail delivery
Receive by wagon
The larger the volume and the longer the haul, the greater the savings. For temperature-sensitive goods a covered siding is key — unloading without freezing and without rain or snow on the packaging.
- building and finishing materials;
- rolled metal and equipment;
- packaging and manufactured products;
- large uniform batches.
Road delivery
Receive by truck
If batches are small, the product range is varied and deliveries are frequent and small, trucks remain more convenient. The complex's dock group is designed to receive heavy trucks.
- frequent deliveries in small batches;
- a varied product range;
- a short haul.
How it works How work with wagons
How work with wagons
is organised
Downtime comes not from a lack of hands but from an unagreed schedule — so deliveries are planned in advance.
01
Delivery planning
The schedule is agreed in advance: the crew, equipment and free space in the receiving area are ready on arrival.
02
Unloading
By warehouse staff, with forklifts and stackers, under a roof and inside the guarded perimeter.
03
Receiving
Checking the number of packages, recording packaging condition, and in case of discrepancies — a certificate with photos.
04
Further handling
Storage, picking and labelling or shipping by truck — without moving between sites.
Case study
How it works in practice
Receiving wagons without excess demurrage
Task
Unloading at a public station was limited by the allotted window and required transfer to trucks.
Result
The wagon is delivered onto the premises, the cargo is unloaded under a roof and registered straight away.
Warehouse move in 6 shifts without stopping shipments
Task
The client rented premises without racking and lost up to 4 hours a day searching for goods.
Result
Picking accuracy rose to 99.6 %, and order picking time fell from 5 to 1.5 hours.
