Containers Lift from Carriage at Terminals for Local Transport on Flat-bed Trucks

Future Automated Cargo Vehicle on Guideway

MegaRail offers future high-speed cargo transfer service that will share the MegaRail system with personal automobiles and public passenger service to assure efficient, low-cost operations. Most cargo currently transported in large, over-the-road trucks can be moved in MegaRail containers. Cargo containers may be lifted from MegaRail carriage for local transport on flat-bed trucks.

MegaRail Cargo Container

MegaRail cargo containers may be removed from carrier vehicles for local transport by trucks to and from points away from cargo terminals located along MegaRail guideways. Large end doors allow standard forklifts to move palletized cargo into and out of containers in exactly the same manner as large trucks are loaded and unloaded. Up to two tons of palletized cargo can be accommodated.

MegaRail Automated Cargo Vehicle - Empty

MegaRail cargo vehicle sloping end caps fold down to reduce aerodynamic drag during movement of empty vehicles to minimize energy use by dead heading vehicles. The patented folding end caps contain provisions to hold the removable cargo container in place for shipment on the guideways.
