Magnificent, this should have been thought up a long time ago. The only way to better this is to have the wagons with their own ramps to ground, be self powered without shore facilities required. Each wagon fully self sufficient. Roll on Roll off so to speak. Nothing can top that. Total efficiency, and quick turn around. Nice one 😉👊👍
megaswings designed by kockums and used by helrom does this, but the loading takes longer and the wagons are probably more expensive. The system used here (Modalohr) can't be done by the wagon alone because there is not enough space below the wagon to put the structure needed to support the trailer when it is loading, so the terminal has to be equipped with a system that supports and pivots the center part of the wagon and the trailer during loading operations. The wagon can't be made higher to fit the said structure because of gauge restrictions (not interfering with the catenary), it would also need the truck to climb a taller ramp. Note : that's all guesses from my observation on material available on the internet

But this is also for trailers and not for Container. You can't stack them.
You should check out the Megaswing Intermodal Car

2:20 didn’t know Johnny Sins is also a truck driver
Cool. 👍🏾😎
Thanks, quite interesting.
Nice indeed, but do you want to see real container transport by rail: double stack container transportation in the US and Canada.
Yup !
Yep !.
