A diverse lineup of containers and equipment.

NX's rail transport services offer the optimal container tailored to the type of cargo and transport conditions.

We possess a diverse lineup of equipment, including standard 12-foot containers, refrigerated and frozen containers for food and pharmaceuticals requiring temperature control, ISO tank containers for transporting hazardous materials and liquids, and rail/coastal shipping containers that enable integrated sea and rail transport.

Types of containers and equipment

12-foot (5-ton) containerThis is the most standard type, with approximately 60,000 units in operation nationwide. It is the mainstay of rail container transport, capable of handling a wide range of items from general cargo to industrial goods.

Rail and domestic shipping combined container (RSV)NX's proprietary containers (approximately 950 in operation) meet the standards of both rail and domestic shipping. They can be used independently for either transport mode, and seamless, transshipment-free transport is also possible. Equipped with ventilation, they are suitable for transporting fresh produce. Their use as a business continuity plan (BCP) measure can also be considered.

ISO Tank ContainerDemand for ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standard tank containers is increasing in domestic transportation. They offer cost advantages over tanker trucks for transporting hazardous materials, toxic substances, and poisons, and contribute to the safe transport of liquid and powder cargo.
