TX Logistik and Wascosa have signed a cooperation agreement, combining efforts in the freight wagon rental market. The companies will focus on marketing the NiKRASA handling system, designed for non-craneable trailers.

Under the agreement, Wascosa will purchase 125 NiKRASA units from TX Logistik, a subsidiary of Mercitalia, in a deal valued at €3m. The companies plan to organise events across Europe to demonstrate the system’s advantages to industry participants.

The NiKRASA platform allows for the handling of non-craneable semi-trailers, which make up about 90% of European trailer fleets. It enables the transfer of these trailers from road to rail within just two minutes.

The companies highlighted that the system does not require changes to existing standards at terminals, on wagons, or on railways. It supports the transportation of various types of trailers, including silos, mega-trailers, and container chassis. Additionally, if the NiKRASA loading frame is empty, swap bodies and containers can still be loaded as usual.

The agreement also outlines broader cooperation between TX Logistik and Wascosa. “In the current tense market situation, this partnership is a sign that we are looking to the future,” comments Ugo Dibennardo, CEO of TX Logistik. “In addition to wagon rental and the marketing of NiKRASA, we also want to work closely together on transport solutions and innovative developments and drive these forward together and with other partners.”
