About us
CargoBeamer is reshaping the future of logistics! In intermodal transport, we are offering smart solutions for transporting both craneable and non-craneable semi-trailers by rail in an environmentally friendly manner. Thanks to CargoBeamer's unique terminals, up to 38 semi-trailers can be loaded horizontally onto a freight train at the same time. There is no need for drivers or tractor units to be taken along, so they can immediately switch to a new transport job, while we take over the long haul by train. Thanks to our steadily growing network of terminals, we transport goods cost-effectively, quickly, and sustainably throughout Europe.

The Story Behind CargoBeamer
The idea behind CargoBeamer was created by Hans-Jürgen Weidemann together with Michael Baier and Fritz Merk. After years of design and further development, we entered the market in 2015 and reached an important milestone in 2021 when opening the world's first CargoBeamer-Terminal. Together with international partners, we are building a Europe-wide network of routes and terminals to transport semi-trailers by rail in an environmentally friendly way.
