Intermodal Trailers for Road/Rail

Gray and Adams offer intermodal trailer designs for road to rail applications. A container similar to the body of a standard trailer has locating bolts, which allow them to be located and locked onto either a road chassis or rail car for transportation using either mode. The trailer is therefore moved on the road on a chassis but is then available for transfer for rail transportation using a crane grab mechanism that lifts the container from the chassis to the rail carrier. This is done using features that are integrated into the trailer body, such as lifting pockets in the sidewalls and sling lift points incorporating stainless steel sections on the roof to minimise damage during this operation.

Key Features of Intermodal Trailers:

• The floor of the trailer is reinforced with steel, which provides strength and rigidity when it is lifted during interchange from road to rail mode
• Options for refrigerated intermodal trailers for specialised temperature controlled applications. These can incorporate interior bulkheads for multi-temperature purposes
• Options for load restraint systems and internal and external protective features similar to those used in standard Gray & Adams trailers can be included
