CARGO shunting system - From road to rail, Lehmann-UMT moves the future

The CargoBeamer system is an intelligent and environmentally friendly shunting system that enables the efficient and fully automated loading of all types of semi-trailers onto special wagons. These are then transported by train via the rail network, saving millions of tons of CO₂. Our systems protect the climate and the environment.

    With the CargoBeamer system, traffic is intelligently shifted from the highway to the tracks. This creates an environmentally friendly alternative, protects the environment and protects the climate.

    Our innovative system enables time and resource-saving, fully automated loading of semi-trailers of various types onto special wagons. These are then transported via the rail network using trains. This relieves congestion on freeways worldwide and helps to save millions of tons of CO₂ every year in Europe alone.

    Our specially developed hydraulic shunting system makes it possible to unload the train in a time-effective manner by moving the wagons on the freight train down to the side. At the same time, the train is loaded from the other side with new wagons to be transported. This efficient handling method optimizes the entire process.

    LEHMANN-UMT is implementing this pioneering project in cooperation with CargoBeamer AG® and is acting both as patent holder and system supplier for the entire shunting unit. We have developed and manufactured the complete machine equipment for loading and unloading the wagons. By implementing such sustainable projects, we actively contribute to reducing CO₂ emissions. With our innovative systems, we make the world a little better every day.

Properties

The shunting system is built into the floor of the CargoBeamer terminal. This is where the truck takes the semi-trailer and places it in a designated parking space. A terminal vehicle places the container on a wagon attachment next to the loading tracks.

With the help of the Lehmann-UMT shunting system, this wagon body with the semi-trailer inside is pushed onto the train as soon as the loading process begins.

Once the semi-trailer has been parked, the truck leaves the terminal immediately without having to wait for the train. The truck can immediately take on new transport orders or pick up a semi-trailer that has already arrived at the terminal. This leads to effective utilization of the tractor units, shortens transport routes and reduces CO₂ emissions.

All semi-trailers are handled simultaneously and automatically at the touch of a button as soon as the train arrives. The technology enables 36 semi-trailers to be unloaded and reloaded in just 20 minutes. By comparison, a conventional crane terminal takes around three to four hours to handle the same train. After a brief safety check, the train departs again, completely reloaded. The system enables uncomplicated, environmentally friendly long-distance transportation by rail - quickly, efficiently and completely climate-neutral.

  • Environmental protection through sustainable transportation

    Our system enables environmentally friendly long-distance transportation by rail without an internal combustion engine. In this way, we make a contribution to reducing CO₂ emissions, protecting the environment and stabilizing the climate. Transport by rail is realized with a positive ecological balance.

  • Relief for drivers and roads

    Drivers do not spend any unnecessary time at the transhipment site and can continue their journey immediately after parking their semi-trailer. This contributes to a more efficient use of resources.

  • Time-saving long-distance transportation

    Transporting goods by rail is not only time-saving, but also cost-efficient compared to transportation via freeways and highways. Optimized logistics is just one of the many advantages.

  • Flexibility and security

    Our system enables a wide variety of semi-trailers to be shifted onto the rails, which ensures exceptional flexibility. At the same time, we ensure maximum safety during the entire process.

  • Better utilization of tractor units

    The tractor units are used much more effectively, as drivers can pick up semi-trailers that have already arrived after parking their freight at the terminal. This significantly reduces empty runs.

  • Inexpensive and effective

    Transporting semi-trailers by rail leads to a sustainable reduction in logistics costs. This is extremely lucrative and effective, especially for long-distance transportation.

Areas of application

Our transfer technology systems are used in a wide range of applications - from moving entire bridges to logistical loading and unloading processes. We are always open to other areas of application and, thanks to our high level of vertical integration, we can also optimally meet individual customer requirements and specific project specifications.
