WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU
TERMINAL
HANDLING OF LOADING UNITS IN COMBINED TRANSPORT (ROAD-RAIL)
As one of the largest inland terminals in Europe, KTL works in a so-called flow process, which means that the tracks under the crane are mostly occupied several times within 24 hours. This is supported by an intelligent terminal operating system. KTL’s control center also takes over train formation tasks for the respective railway companies and tries to compensate for any incoming train delays by planning the most flexible track occupancy possible. With uninterrupted business hours from Monday 05.00h to Saturday 13.00h, KTL meets the customers‘ desire for access to the loading units as continuous as possible.
