Transloading benefits
One of the key advantages of transloading at LPCR is access to rail networks, even if your production facility isn’t directly connected to rail tracks. Shippers that rely primarily on trucking can benefit from the cost savings and fuel efficiency of rail transport through CRANDIC Rail’s connections to Class 1 railroads. By leveraging our transload services, businesses can expand their reach into new markets that may be too far to serve affordably by truck alone.
Transloading equipment
LPCR's bulk transload facility offers both self-service and full-service transloading options, supported by our on-site material handlers, to meet your business needs. Our advanced transloading equipment includes a rail car mover, three types of conveyors, forklifts (including an extendable-reach forklift), and a portable boxcar dock, ensuring a smooth and efficient transfer process for a wide range of commodities.
