Intermodal Trailers
The term 'intermodal transport' refers to the process of transporting cargo using a minimum of two modes of transport. The services we offer consist of transporting cargo using intermodal trailers that are compatible with intra-European logistics systems. This ensures that cargo is transported in the same UTI load unit along the entire route. This reduces loading and unloading times at the terminal, and allows transport services to be carried out faster and with reduced CO2 emissions.

Why choose an intermodal trailer? What can it transport?
With intermodal trailers, we can make more efficient use of alternative modes of transport, including road and rail infrastructure. The benefits of implementing such a solution:
Intermodal semi-trailers - a key tool for intermodal transport
Intermodal trailers allow us to make more efficient use of alternative modes of transport, including road and rail infrastructure. What are the benefits of implementing such a solution?
-
We are influencing a lower carbon footprint compared to traditional road transport. The intermodal semi-trailer can be used in a wide range of transport channels, including low-emission rail transport in western and northern Europe.
-
Using several transport channels at the same time helps to stabilise freight transport prices. This is very good news for our customers, who emphasise that intermodal transport carried out through us is price predictable.
-
Our company is developing intermodal transport, with sets of trailers that are designed to be competitive with traditional containers. Their compatible design significantly reduces the time required for transshipment, and the loading area is adapted to the dimensions of Euro pallets.
-
Intermodal freight transport is a highly efficient solution that significantly reduces human resource requirements, leading to substantial cost savings and enhanced profitability.
Intermodal transport - a modern form of transporting semi-trailers and containers
By integrating rail and road transport, we can efficiently transport all cargo in the same UTI unit, thereby shortening the supply chain. This leads to streamlined transhipment processes and the development of local transport infrastructure. Our expertise in this field stems from our collaboration with experienced entities in the sector.
In addition, we offer container chassis for transporting heavier than standard loads that fall within the 44-tonne gross vehicle weight limit. The transportation of such loads by road is possible within the implementation of the so-called first and last mile within a radius of 150 km from the terminal.
Our commitment to decarbonisation is further supported by our use of intermodal trailers and container chassis, contributing to the development of efficient combined transport solutions. For a detailed quote, please do not hesitate to contact us.
FAQ
GMP+ FSA (Feed Safety Assurance) is a certification aimed at ensuring the safety of feed fed to livestock. This standard covers all stages of feed production and therefore applies to both cultivation and transport. GMP stands for Good Manufacturing Practices and the '+' symbolises integration with Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP). The GMP+ certification has set the standard for the quality of our order handling since 2016.
ISO 22000 specifies the requirements for food safety management systems, applicable to all organisations in the food production chain, from cultivation and farming to retail. ISO 22000 sets a standard that is relevant not only for food producers, but also for manufacturers of equipment, packaging, cleaning products, food additives and ingredients. At our company, we are committed to ensuring the safety of the food and its ingredients we transport and store, and as proof of this commitment, we have been ISO certified for 15 years.
The spacious set is an excellent choice for transporting relatively light goods due to its ability to carry up to 38 pallets. However, due to the two loading spaces, the loading and unloading process may be lengthier. During loading, the trailer typically needs to be uncoupled first to allow the truck to be filled with goods, and then re-coupled by the driver to continue loading. The new jumbo trucks in the MEXEM fleet offer a more efficient solution by allowing loading without unbuckling the trailer, significantly reducing the time and effort required for the process. These trucks feature openable rear and front walls of the vehicle's load compartment and trailer, which are fitted with a drop-down aluminium platform, enabling the truck to manoeuvre between the load boxes.
The ATP Convention is an international document that details the standards associated with the transport of food and other perishable goods. Road transport is subject to the Convention, so any vehicle used for the transport of perishable goods must have a certificate of conformity for the means of transport, commonly referred to as an ATP certificate. The certificate is valid for six years, after which further tests must be carried out every three years. These certificates are issued by institutions designated by the Ministry of Transport. All our refrigerated semi-trailers are, as a matter of course, equipped with ATP certificates.
The mega semi-trailer is distinguished by its very large volume, reaching almost 100 cubic metres (which is approximately 10% more volume than a standard semi-trailer). Increasing the load compartment while maintaining the permissible overall height of the vehicle is made possible by lowering the frame and increasing the height of the trailer interior. The hydraulically raised roof makes it easier to load and fully utilise the height of the loading space, which reaches almost 3 metres. A prime example of the advantages of mega-trailers over standard semi-trailers is the ability to carry not two, but three floors of goods such as cookers or washing machines, all while maintaining safety standards.
The maximum weight of a pallet placed on the floor of our double deck semi-trailers is approximately 300 kg (the load capacity of each beam is 1 tonne). The height of the pallets should not exceed 120 cm. Our double decks are available with a rigid body or are additionally equipped with insulation and a refrigeration unit and can therefore function as a double-deck refrigerated trailer.
