Railway transportation by Grain Hoppers (Hoppers)

Railway transportation by Grain Hoppers (Hoppers) and gondola – for grain transportation are used special wagons (hoppers-grain hoppers) and reequipped covered wagons. Grain is transported in covered wagons, both in bulk and bagged.

Grain Hoppers provide maximum safety. This is due to many factors:

  • Almost whole wagon is made of alloy steel and aluminum;
  • These wagons are quit convenient for loading and unloading grain;
  • The inner part if the wagon is covered all over by special enamel. During the contact with this enamel grains do not absorb any harmful substances and still be ecologically clear and healthy for the customer;
  • Special wagons for grain transportation are fully protected from impact of the environment.

The Transportation in Grain Hopper allows transporting up to 70 tons of grain but in Covered Wagons from 60 to 68 tons. The loading is carried out on specially adapted stations by using elevator. A highly developed railway network helps to carry out such transportation at any distance to the places of their storage, processing or export.
