Leasing a railcar should be as smooth as a well-maintained track. Whether you need a brand-new build or a railcar from our existing fleet, we make the process simple and efficient. But before we get started, let’s talk about what you need.

What Are You Transporting?
The cargo you move determines the best railcar for the job. Product weight and volume also play a major role—every liter and kilogram impacts efficiency. Another important factor is the equipment you use for loading and unloading. The more we know, the better we can determine which railcar best suits your needs. Our experts have seen it all—from gases, liquids, and dry bulk to steel, timber, and intermodal containers. We even offer modular superstructure and double-deck railcars that help transport more cars on tracks. And we are open to investing in additional railcar types to meet the needs of the market.

New Build or Existing Fleet?
Our fleet is extensive, but if your cargo has unique requirements, a custom-built railcar may be the way to go. The choice depends on availability, lead time, and specific needs like insulation, special linings, or custom loading/unloading features. Our experts make it possible. A perfect example is our Zacns railcar type 2485 that transport Propylene Oxide in a black steel tank car fitted with pressure gas railcar valves. We’ve also had instances where we have opted for a custom-build to double the isolation for the transport of liquid sulfur. Further, we’ve produced small batch sizes of a railcar series to transport niche products such as ACN, carbon disulfide, and we are currently working on different solutions for the future transport of CO2.

Safety & Compliance: Help Us Help You
The more we know, the better we can match you with the right railcar. Tell us everything about your cargo—including the UN classification if it’s a hazardous material. This ensures compliance with regulations and maximizes safety for your operations. Include related information on your cargo, especially if it influences transportation decisions.

Customization & Hands-On Experience
Need a special feature? No problem. We offer customization to meet your exact needs. And if you’d like to see the process firsthand, you’re welcome to visit while we build or prepare your railcars—whether in our in-house workshop in Ostroda or at one of our partner locations. Customization can be as simple as adding your logo to our railcars for long-term leases or as complex as transporting dry powder that gets diluted for unloading into solution elsewhere in Europe—like with our sodium chlorate railcar type 5465.

Where and How Long?
Where will your railcars operate? Track gauge, insurance, and regulatory requirements vary by country, so these details matter. Leasing lengths are flexible—let’s find the right solution for your business. Whether you lease just a few railcars or an entire fleet, for a short term or the long haul, you get the same top-tier service we’re known for.
