By expertly managing technical details such as wagon exchanges at border crossings and rail gauge differences, we ensure your cargo reaches its destination without delay. With the assurance of Filiz Customs, we provide a transparent and accountable service in rail logistics.

Thus, we prevent potential delays and save time for your business.

We efficiently utilize the high carrying capacity of railways, particularly for the domestic distribution of large-volume cargo. We provide corporate supervision at transfer stations and loading areas.

Our operation management tracks every meter of the cargo from the point of origin to the destination station using digital systems. Within the scope of our rail freight service, we turn the possibilities of local railway infrastructure to our clients' advantage. With the experience of Filiz Customs, we act as a reliable and serious logistics partner for your domestic shipments.

Containerized and Wagon-Based Freight Transport

We offer flexible equipment options based on the volume and nature of your cargo. While providing intermodal advantages with containerized train transport, we create ideal volumes for bulk and heavy cargo with wagon-based freight transport.

The details of our transport models are as follows:

• Containerized Transport: Provides speed at port and road connections by loading standard containers onto wagons.

• Closed Wagon: Used for sensitive cargo that must be protected from weather conditions and external factors.

• Flatbed Wagon: Suitable for the shipment of construction machinery, pipes, and large-scale industrial equipment.

• Tanker Wagon: Ensures the safe transfer of bulk liquids and gases.

In both models, we carry out cargo lashing procedures according to international norms. When receiving rail freight services, we protect the security of your cargo with the most modern equipment. As Filiz Customs, we respond professionally to all your commercial demands with our equipment diversity.

Safe Shipment of Dangerous Goods by Rail

Rail shipments of dangerous goods require strict adherence to RID (Regulation concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Rail) rules. We transport your explosive, flammable, or corrosive cargo using specially equipped wagons and under the supervision of expert personnel. We maintain environmental risk and line safety at the highest level.

Some classes of dangerous goods transported by rail and their characteristics are as follows:

Substance Class	Definition	Transport Requirement
Class 2	Gases	Pressure-resistant, specially insulated tanker wagons.
Class 3	Flammable Liquids	Wagons with precautions against electrostatic charging.
Class 4	Flammable Solids	Wagons protected from moisture with ventilation systems.
Class 8	Corrosives	Tanks with special internal coatings resistant to chemical reactions.

In these operations, we do not settle for just choosing the right equipment; we meticulously check all safety certificates and declarations. We maintain full control at every stage of the shipment with our emergency protocols. Filiz Customs Brokerage & Logistics guarantees safety in the transfer of your risky cargo without compromising its corporate seriousness.

Hot and Cold Chain Rail Logistics

For your products with high temperature sensitivity, we deploy our cold chain railway solutions. With our modern refrigerated wagons, we deliver products such as food and pharmaceuticals over long distances under constant temperature. We protect product quality by monitoring temperature changes in real-time.

Technological details in the process include:

• Active Cooling Containers: Technological units that keep temperature constant with power supply.

• Insulated Wagons: Special protective layers unaffected by external ambient temperatures.

• Real-Time Data Tracking: Digital recording of temperature values throughout the journey.

• Priority Route Planning: Preference for the shortest transit times for perishable cargo.

We work to ensure your sensitive products do not lose their freshness or efficacy values from production when reaching their destination. As Filiz Customs, we perform professional supervision at every stage of the cold chain. We also provide heat-controlled environments with similar meticulousness for special chemicals requiring hot transport.

Project and Heavy Lift Rail Freight

We provide solutions for your out-of-gauge cargo with our heavy lift rail freight service. We ship transformers, generators, turbines, and large factory parts using special platform wagons. In our project transport train operations, we analyze tunnel and bridge crossings on the route in advance if the load is out-of-gauge.

Every operation in this scope is managed with detailed loading plans prepared by our technical teams. We execute the processes of balancing the load and securing it onto the wagon with engineering precision. Filiz Customs combines the massive carrying power of the railway with its professionalism to safely transport even the most challenging loads in your heavy industry projects.

Door-to-Door Train Shipment Service

We provide door-to-door railway services by stripping logistics processes of complexity. We collect your cargo from the factory, transfer it to the station, ship it via the main railway line, and deliver it to the address at the destination. We construct an efficient transport chain by integrating road and rail modes.

For our clients, this model means managing the entire process with a single contract and a single point of contact. By planning feeder transport in harmony with train schedules, we eliminate waiting times and additional costs. With the assurance of Filiz Customs, we bring the advantage of the railway over long distances right to your door.

Insured Rail Freight and Damage Management

We secure your goods against all risks that may arise during transport within the scope of insured train transport. We make the damage risk—which is naturally low in railway operations—completely controllable through comprehensive policies. We ensure your financial peace of mind with our professional insurance solutions.

In case of any disruption, our damage management unit intervenes rapidly. We inform our clients at every moment during the preparation of reports, tracking of appraisal procedures, and finalization of compensation processes. As Filiz Customs Brokerage & Logistics, we defend your cargo in the strongest way, not only on the rails but also on legal and financial levels.
