All our vehicles have new generation EURO engines.
There is a tipping dumper system in all our float trucks and by delivering received merchandise (cranes, forklifts, etc) while avoiding use of the work machines, savings are made on time, costs and manpower.
By using a vehicle tracking system we ensure that goods are delivered to customers in a faster, more controlled and effective way.
Our main aim is to provide our services when needed, where needed, at a low cost.

RAILWAY TRANSPORTATION
In addition to investments being made in support of the Railway and the increase in capasity, savings are made in the name of our country in costs such as fuel, amortisation, maintenance and upkeeping, workforce and the erosion and renewal of highways.
We provide domestic transportation with 176 Eanoss type rail wagons owned by our company, all of which are made in Turkey by TÜLOMSAŞ.
Our annual transportation capacity with the current railway infrastructure is 350.000 tonnes/year.
Our company, which aims to increase the number of rail wagons in the short term and gives importance to the use of national sources in this direction, prefers the use of rail wagons made by TÜLOMSAŞ. As such, it is ensured that the transportation for the procurement of raw materials and the channels of merchandise distribution shifted to the railways (Modal Shift).
In addition, with the “General Railway Framework Law” being put into force in a period when the railways will be opened for competition, the feasibility works for the private sector, who will do cargo shipment with its own railway vehicles and employees, have been completed and the necessary investments will be made as soon as possible.
As a natural result of these developments, activities continue in the direction of the aim of opening new logistics terminals and the increasing the current capacity.
We continue to provide appropriate solutions for our customers with our young and dynamic railway operation team who work towards giving good quality, fast and effective service.
Our company has created a rail wagon park by giving orders for the manufacture of modern rail wagons which have a speed of 120 km/h, 22,5 ton axis pressure, automatic load sensors, and each with a load carrying capacity of 64 200 kg which is at a quality of being able to provide service to the European Union.
