Ermewa, a European leader in freight wagon hire, is a trusted partner for major companies in the European steel industry, working closely with them to offer ever more efficient equipment that contributes to the decarbonation of their supply chain.
For the transport of metals and steel by rail, for more than 60 years we have been offering European manufacturers a diversified fleet of flat wagons, flat-slab wagons, coil carriers and open-top wagons, specially designed for loading different types of manufactured steel products, from coils (at temperatures of up to 450°C) to steel slabs and rails.
By choosing Ermewa for your metal and steel transport operations, you can rely on our logistical support, the strength and skills of our European network, and benefit from international transport solutions delivered with excellence by our rail experts.
Steel wagonload transport offers high loading capacity, making it possible to transport large quantities of steel in a single shipment. This logistical solution contributes to economies of scale, reducing unit transport costs per ton carried.
Our fleet of tarpaulin-covered wagons offers protection from the elements when transporting coils of cold steel, a product that is sensitive to weather conditions. Coils and slabs can be susceptible to corrosion if they come into direct contact with moisture or rain, and rail transport by covered wagon reduces this risk.
The cradles fitted to our coil-carrying wagons provide the stability and safety that are essential for transporting steel products. The solid structure of the wagons reduces vibration and movement, helping to prevent potential damage during transport.
With its low CO² emissions, rail transport is a mode of transport that contributes to more environmentally sustainable practices.
Rail wagons can be used to complement other modes of transport, such as road or sea, as part of intermodal transport solutions. This offers flexibility in logistics planning and optimises the cost and efficiency of transport.
Our fleet of open-top wagons is also suitable for transporting scrap and bulk metals.
