SCHMIDT CONTAINER FLEET
The use of intermodal carriers such as rail and sea is ever increasing in significance. It is unthinkable that they will not be part of the world of transport. Operating a network of intermodal transports on rail and road, deploying state-of-the-art transport units and handling equipment as well as by means of their long-term expertise in bulk transportation, SCHMIDT is capable to provide an efficient and reliable alternative to traditional road transportation. By developing an intermodal infrastructure, container transports for international and national traffic volumes could be designed.
Containers as unaccompanied transport units are particularly suitable for long-distance destinations.
