Railway siding services

Q: What are the advantages of using a railway siding for rolled steel?

Having our own railway siding makes it possible to deliver large lots of rolled steel directly to the warehouse, reducing transportation costs and speeding up unloading compared to delivery by truck.

Q: What cargo volume can the railway siding handle?

The railway siding is designed to receive several railcars at once, allowing hundreds of tonnes of metal to be transshipped in one operation; the exact throughput depends on track length and organizational capabilities.

Q: How much does it cost to use the railway siding?

The cost of railway siding services is calculated individually and depends on the number of railcars, cargo tonnage and the loading and unloading work required; the company provides transshipment rates on request.

Q: How do I order the railway siding service?

To use the railway siding, contact the service provider (e.g., Hillary Assets in Kazakhstan LLP) in advance, agree on the planned volume and railcar delivery schedule, and then sign a service agreement.

Q: Are there any cargo restrictions for the railway siding?

Typically, rolled steel and other non-hazardous bulk or piece cargo is transshipped via the railway siding. Hazardous, chemically active or non-standard cargo may require special conditions or approval; we recommend checking in advance whether a specific cargo can be handled.

Unable to receive a railcar with cargo? We have our own railway siding and a temporary storage yard.

We will receive and unload your railcars.

The service includes:
– railcar placement and removal (returning empty cars to the railway);
– transloading directly from railcars to the customer's trucks or unloading to the yard (for temporary storage);
– temporary storage (up to 10 days) in an open yard.
