Economical Long-Haul Movement by Rail

For bulk consignments travelling long distances, rail is often the most sensible answer: lower cost per tonne, no highway congestion and far less exposure to weather and road conditions along the way.

We handle the part that usually puts people off rail — the first and last mile. Our own vehicles collect from your premises, deliver to the rake point, and repeat the process at the destination so it stays a door-to-door service for you.

What This Service Covers

  • Container and parcel movement on scheduled rail services
  • First and last mile handled by our own fleet
  • Bulk and heavy consignments at a lower cost per tonne
  • Less exposure to monsoon and highway disruptions
  • Consolidated loading for regular long-haul volumes
  • Combined rail plus road plans for interior destinations

Weather Resistant

Rail movement avoids the highway delays that monsoon and strikes create.

Bulk Friendly

Single Documentation

One LR and one invoice, even though two modes are involved.

Tracked Internally

Our desk follows the rake and updates you at each milestone.
