The "Internationale Tieflader-Bahntransport GmbH.", ITB for short, specialises in special rail transports. The enterprise was taken over by the Felbermayr Group in 1994, and in a very short time has become a fixed element in the European special transports sector.
It is precisely in this sector that the performance and versatility of the technical equipment is at the forefront in solving the most difficult transport problems with usually extreme requirements. Thus ITB today boasts a range of versatile and flexible high- performance rail equipment comprising currently 16 special waggons with between 6 and 32 axles and a load-bearing capacity of up to 500 tonnes. A wide range of configuration possibilities turn these waggons into highly flexible special vehicles. For instance, the two ITB 32 axle waggons can be equipped with drop-base bridges, Schnabel-waggon or girder bridges, with transverse shifting and raising/lowering function.

ITB is proud of its full-service capacity: from design consulting for optimisation of transport through the exact determination of the transport situation, the handling of approval proceedings up to planning, organisation and execution of the transport and installation on site. Naturally also with transhipment from rail to road or, if necessary, with complete provision of foundations. And this all that throughout Europe…

		ITB: Heaviest rail transport of Europe In the summer 2001 the heaviest ever property carried in Europe on railways was surely brought by ITB to the goal.

In the German Muelheim A. D Ruhr a generator stand was shipped including course belt support frames with a hanging up weight by 475 tons by Siemens KWU on a 32-achsigen carrying bill car. The dead weight of this carrying bill car is with 215 tons, which makes it European-wide the easiest 32-Achser. This is of special importance in connection with the total weight and the Achs and meter loads possible of the clearing race.



Transport took place to the coal-fired power station Niederaussem, which likewise lies in the FRG. Extensive pre-working, those of technicians of the shipper, who had been managed railways cargo and the ITB, with success were crowned.



Our special thanks apply also for the responsible persons of the railways cargo, who functioned as general contractors opposite the shipper and carried for a smooth job execution concern.
