Conflat loading

[macneil]

Hi everyone just wondering if anyone has any details on conflat loading yards.

Were containers delivered to manufactures and filled with good then transported to A loading yard or were they loaded at the yard and how were those yards arranged ?.


Cheers.

The containers where usually loaded at the manufacturers then transported by road in most cases to a goods yard that had a suitable crane .
Some of the larger manufacturers may well of had there own sidings where the containers could of been loaded directly ?
