Horizontal Transfer System: How It Works

The Aalborg terminal, located in northern Denmark, belongs to German railways. Safe Green Logistics introduced the CTS technology, and it simplifies cargo handling.

The European Union provided funds for the project to develop new logistics technology. Devices on chassis with rollers move cargo quickly and without delays.

Safe Green Logistics states that transferring one container takes just one minute. Automation helps load 40-foot ISO containers onto platforms efficiently.

The company started testing the CTS system in February 2025 in Denmark. It plans to build a network of terminals because the technology proved successful.

Horizontal Transfer System: Future Prospects

Tests confirmed that automated transfer outperforms older methods in speed. Safe Green Logistics aims to scale the project and cover more cities.

Aalborg became the first location to use CTS for cargo transport. The technology’s success draws attention from other countries, and this benefits Denmark.

The European Union backed the development because it saves resources and time. The company believes the technology will give it a market edge.

A network of CTS terminals will speed up cargo handling across the country. Safe Green Logistics explores options to expand the project soon.

The technology opens new opportunities for Denmark’s transport industry. It increases work speed but maintains reliable cargo transport.

DB Cargo supports the project because it strengthens ties with partners. The Aalborg terminal now sets an example for other regional operators.

Safe Green Logistics focuses on modern solutions and automation. This meets market demands, and the company plans further growth.

The CTS project shows how innovations transform cargo handling approaches. Denmark strengthens its position because it adopts cutting-edge logistics technology.

Experts highlight the system’s high efficiency and future potential. Safe Green Logistics wants to launch the terminal network at full capacity soon.

The development cuts energy costs, aligning with European Union goals. The company will continue tests to enhance the technology and broaden its use.
