Types of cargo
Bulk and pile cargo (coal, minerals, woodland, construction, fertilizer, grain)
Transportation of bulk cargo is carried out by covered wagons, platforms and various types of semi-wagons, which allow unloading of cargo from any side, which is suitable for raw materials and construction cargo. Bulk cargoes such as grain or gravel can also be transported in hopper wagons. At the bottom of this type of wagons there are special hatches for quick unloading.
Liquid cargo (oil, gasoline, fuel oil, liquefied gases, chemical products)
Liquid cargo, including flammable and hazardous cargo, is transported in cisterns and bunker-type wagons.
Liquid goods include liquid products of the chemical industry, petroleum products, liquefied gases, etc.
The choice of cistern is determined by the characteristics of the transported cargo. There are specially adapted cisterns for each type of cargo. All shipments meet strict safety standards.
Finished and semi-finished products of heavy industry (pipes, rails, metalworking, etc.)
Depending on the production process of the industrial enterprise, transportation can be carried out by any type of wagon. The wagons have a special design that allows you to carry out efficiently loading and unloading, transport and technological operations. For example, dump trucks (unloading wagons) allow unloading and loading of goods by mechanized methods and means.
In addition to its large weight, the parameters of the products of heavy industry enterprises are often unsuitable for transportation. “Azerbaijan Railways” CJSC has experience in providing specialized transport solutions for such enterprises.
Transportation of oversized, technologically complex equipment requires a careful approach. Equipment is often required to be transported long distances. From time to time delivery of equipment is possible only by rail, and sometimes by several modes of transport.
Accelerated loads
Transportation of fast food, meat and meat products, frozen or chilled fish is carried out by refrigerated wagons and refrigerated containers.
