Intermodal transport has the unique ability to transport any type of cargo through the use of a diverse range of intermodal loading units: tank containers for liquids, refrigerated containers for perishables, craneable semi-trailers and 45-foot containers for diverse products, 20-foot swap-bodies for less-than-truckload quantities. Combined Transport can fill a freight trains with various different kinds of cargo to travel in the same direction. The capability for road positioning on the first/last mile means that intermodal freight connection between any point of origin with any final destination is possible.
