RAILEVANT QUESTIONS

April 7, 2020
What questions should you ask a rail-using client, and why do they matter?

 

QUESTION #1 OF 5:

What products will be received and/or distributed via rail?

A: Clients must analyze costs.
A product’s dimensions and weight determine its shipping route and special handling requirements (heyyy kid gloves).

Some shipping routes have height and weight restrictions.

All of this can affect rates.

 

 

 

B: Railed products can dictate site design.
Many products require specialized loading and unloading capabilities, which can significantly impact space use.

Want the ability to load/unload from both sides of the rail car? Need room for specialized equipment?

All of this should be considered in your client’s site layout.
