Dusseldorf-Vienna
From Road to Rail with Helrom Trailer Rail
Helrom’s Trailer Rail express freight train enables you to move your unaccompanied trailers easily, at speed and with total reliability from Dusseldorf to Vienna and vice versa. Due to Helrom’s horizontal technology, your trailers are efficiently rolled on and off the wagon by Helrom staff - your driver simply has to check his trailer in at the parking area and is then back on the road being productive with the next journey.
Helrom sells the slots on it’s trains direct to road transport companies to ensure an economically competitive offer compared to direct road or alternative intermodal services. Integrated operations, GPS tracking and automated updates by sms and e-mail ensure you are kept fully informed at all stages of your trailer’s journey.
