HELROM owns proprietary rail wagon and rail terminal technology. The HELROM technology allows us to transport all standard semi-trailers on rail.

The HELROM wagon opens and closes horizontally to load and unload. The HELROM wagon requires no additional terminal infrastructure for loading and unloading other than a track.

The HELROM technology has been proven in regular operations in Sweden.
