From modest beginnings in 2013, TasRail has continually invested to improve the capacity and efficiency of its log haulage infrastructure, including the development and commercialisation of the ‘Logtainer’.
Locally designed and manufactured by Elphinstone Engineering of Triabunna, the specialised rollingstock was developed in collaboration with TasRail. A LogTainer is an innovative, custom designed cradle that sits on top of a conventional intermodal rail wagon, enabling it to be used for the haulage of both logs and conventional shipping containers. In addition to superior loading/unloading efficiencies and improved safety outcomes, the LogTainers provide TasRail with the flexibility to backhaul intermodal freight on log train services.
