New system solution for heavy-duty containers on rails

Our HeavyDutyLoading System enables the efficient transport of heavy-duty 20 ft containers weighing up to 56 ton on 2×30 ft InnoWaggons. It allows for fast loading without the need for additional cargo securing, ensures maximum safety during rail operations, and reduces CO₂e emissions by nearly 75% compared to conventional truck transport.

With the HeavyDutyLoading System (HDLS), Innofreight expands its portfolio for the transport of particularly heavy goods. The system is designed to carry superstructures weighing up to 56 tons per 20 ft – offering an 8-ton payload advantage compared to conventional solutions.

This additional capacity is made possible by the interaction with the lightweight 2×30 ft InnoWaggon, which has proven exceptionally robust in heavy-duty operations. As the platform for the HDLS, a 2×30 ft InnoWaggon can transport up to 112 tons and, thanks to integrated ballast plates, can also operate empty without restrictions.

In the future, the HDLS will also be available in combination with the single version of the 30 ft InnoWaggon. Both versions offer the same key advantage: side-mounted stopper consoles replace additional lashings, enabling faster loading and unloading while ensuring maximum operational safety.

Ecological transport solution for BESS

The HDLS is now being used, for example, to transport Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). These 20-foot modules store electricity – particularly from renewable sources such as wind and solar – and play a crucial role in stabilizing energy grids. Due to their dimensions and weight, they place high demands on transport technology and logistics – demands that the HDLS reliably meets.

Innofreight fulfills these requirements and actively supports industrial transformation in multiple ways: by enabling the safe and efficient transport of BESS modules and by delivering measurable ecological benefits along the entire logistics chain. This becomes clearly visible, for example, on the route from Koper to Budapest: compared to conventional road transport, moving 24 modules on twelve 2×30 ft InnoWaggons reduces CO₂e emissions by 74.7% – equivalent to savings of approximately 25 tons of CO₂e per block train (according to ISO 14083).
