    Transportation of grain

    "EU-Trans" LLC uses its own gondola cars to transport grain cargo using liners and awnings


     

    Cooperation has been established with the business contact platform "EU-Ukraine Solidarity Lanes"
     


    Liner "Z-4", with four loading valves was designed for the transportation of alumina, in order to minimize the possible ingress of moisture into the liner and the human factor during installation/loading/tying, but is also suitable for transporting grain cargo.
    To load into such an insert you need a special loading frame, as in the photo below ( drawing provided by the seller ).

     

    In other words, it is very difficult for an installer to tie 4 necks incorrectly, this allows you to use such a tab without additional carriage shelter.

    Congratulations on the 25th anniversary of the company "EU-Trans"

    Dear employees, dear colleagues, respected partners and clients of our company, I congratulate everyone on the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the company and sincerely thank everyone who was with us during this period.
    Over the entire time of our existence, we have come a long way from a small freight forwarder to the owner of almost 400 wagons. We were the forwarder of the first container trains from China to Ukraine and back. Our platforms and wood-chip carriers run in container trains and route trains with wood chips to Europe. We survived the difficult wartime and continue to develop. We have experience of cooperation with well-known Ukrainian and European companies.
    I wish all of us more successful and productive days. May luck and success accompany us, let enthusiasm and strength not leave us. I wish our company continued prosperity, and each of you - health, happiness, love, family wealth and, of course, effective work.
