Van der Vlist is driven by a passion for transport and technique. We look to find the perfect solution for our clients and the world around us. Therefore, the Van der Vlist team has been working on developing a bolster so we can offer out of gauge transport by rail.
After a long period of engineering and homologation, Van der Vlist is almost ready for rail. The Van der Vlist XL-bolster can carry cargo of maximum 3 meters wide, 3 meters high, 12 meters long and 28 tons in weight. Together with one of our valued clients, we tested loading, lashing & securing of different types of machinery. During this time, the patent for our innovative bolster was pending.
As all procedures are nearly finalized, we are at the last stages of preparation to implement this environmentally friendly way of transporting oversized cargo. Martin van Dam, Managing Director at Van der Vlist Logistics, says : “Using regular rail connections gives us both flexibility and frequent departures. Also, the transit-time is generally quite precise while the emissions go down up to 85%.
We will start using this XL-bolster in regular transports in the last quarter of 2024. We will keep you posted.
