RAIL
Rapidly Available Interface for Trans-Loading (RAIL)
RAIL is a modular rail trans-loading system that delivers rapid, tool-free logistics offload capability in austere environments.
RAIL
The Rapidly Available Interface for Trans-Loading (RAIL) system is a modular, scalable capability that enables rapid rail trans-loading in austere environments. RAIL provides commanders with the flexibility to off-load critical logistics assets quickly and efficiently from existing rail networks—without relying on fixed railhead facilities.
Integrated into man-portable components with included carrying tools, RAIL requires no material-handling equipment for setup. It supports up to Military Load Classification (MLC) 120, ensuring it can handle the heaviest combat vehicles and cargo.
RAIL adapts to multiple railcar styles and mission requirements with four standard configurations: Rear Offload, Side Offload, Turning Pad Offload, and Truck/Trailer Offload. Its modular design and compatibility with Bicon and 463L pallet transport make it logistically efficient and expeditionary-ready.
Three Primary Benefits of RAIL
Whether facilitating rear, side, or turning pad off-loads, the RAIL system adapts to diverse railcar styles and mission requirements with four scalable configurations. Engineered for MLC 120 capacity, it enables the rapid trans-loading of the heaviest combat vehicles in austere environments without the need for fixed railhead facilities. This man-portable, modular solution is expeditionary-ready and fits seamlessly into standard Bicon or 463L pallet transport, delivering unmatched logistical flexibility and mobility in the field.
