GATX Rail Europe is providing two Eamnos railcars, type 9158, to LogServ for testing purposes. Over the course of two months, the railcars will be evaluated for scrap loading operations. The testing process will be documented, and the resulting report will serve as a basis to further optimize the railcars for the transport of scrap material.

LogServ, a long-standing customer of GATX Rail Europe, is a full-service logistics provider and a subsidiary of voestalpine Stahl GmbH. It offers tailored, industrial-scale logistics solutions, primarily serving sectors like metal production, construction, and plant engineering.

Eamnos: robust design, versatile use, and proven reliability in demanding conditions
The Eamnos railcars are suited for the industry LogServ is serving, as they are designed for transporting heavy bulk goods such as scrap metal, steel, wood, or construction aggregates. With high loading capacity, robust side walls, and efficient bottom discharge doors, these railcars ensure reliable performance and quick turnaround times in demanding operating environments. Their versatility makes them a proven choice for a wide range of cargo types.

Christian Haas, Area Manager South at GATX Rail Europe highlights the value of this project. “At GATX Rail Europe, we’re committed to the continuous optimization of our railcars,” he says. “This collaboration with LogServ demonstrates our openness to derive new solutions together and our commitment to quality.” Silvia Vivoda, Sales Manager at GATX Rail Europe adds, “It’s great to see our railcars tested under real-life conditions. And it’s even better to be doing this together with our longstanding and valued customer LogServ.”

By supporting testing efforts, GATX continues to demonstrate dedication to delivering durable, customer-focused railcar solutions across industries. Are you looking to transport scrap materials, too? Check out our Eamnos railcars or request a quote.
