Are you looking to lower transportation costs, expand your reach, or leverage a more environmentally friendly transportation option? Transloading can help.

What Is Transloading?

Transloading allows products to be transferred seamlessly between trucks and trains, letting shippers leverage rail for the long-haul and trucks for first- and last-mile delivery. In other words, transloading allows shippers to access the economic, environmental and capacity benefits of rail without worrying about having tracks at the origin or destination.

Benefits of Transloading

In addition to combining the benefits of rail with the flexibility of trucks, transloading also comes with other benefits, including:

• Expanding your market reach with a larger network and more affordable shipping options
• Safer, seamless cross-border shipping
• The ability to ship loads of all sizes

The Loup Carload Team is comprised of transloading experts who can make it easy to leverage your transloading options, so you don’t have to worry about researching locations or learning which ones can handle your products. The Loup Carload Team has all of this information right at their fingertips and is ready to help connect you with the best transloading solution for your shipments.

Products and Equipment

Most products can be transloaded, but some of the more common categories include:

• Lumber
• Metals
• Dry Bulk
• Agricultural Products
• Foood and Beverage

Each transload facility has its own equipment to move products between trucks and trains, including forklifts, conveyors, pump/pneumatic transfers, cranes, and front-end loaders.
