Both non-craneable and craneable semi-trailers, containers, tank trailer, and ADR units can be carried. This versatility caters to multiple logic needs as well as reducing emissions and expenses along the distance-based routes.

CargoBeamer allocates most train capacity to Routier European Transport, which also provides traction. Remaining slots are open to other market participants, improving route accessibility and competition in the freight sector.
