Rail container transport involves carrying large volumes of cargo in containers, in coordination with trucks.

Rail container transport uses powerful locomotives to pull wagons loaded with containers, making it possible to transport large volume of cargo, up to 650 tons, at once.

Japanese railways are among the most punctual in the world. JR Freight's freight trains operate high-speed container trains on mainlines, with 24-hour operation management. This ensures high rate on-time performance, making sure that your cargo is delivered reliably and swiftly.

JR containers can be used one-way anytime, anywhere. After use, the freight forwarder can return the container to the nearest freight station, no unnecessary costs, no worry of return cargo!

There are a variety of containers suitable for various conditions, such as the nature and shape of the cargo, transport temperature, cargo volume, and loading and unloading. By selecting the container according to your need and preference, we provide the optimal transport service for your business.

This service allows rail containers to be temporarily stored for free at freight stations. With this service, deliveries can be adjusted to customer's delivery plan, and sudden changes to delivery dates and times can be accommodated without the need to arrange for a warehouse.

Since freight trains run on railway tracks, they offer safe and stable transportation. Unlike road transport, there is a reduced risk of traffic accidents, making rail transport ideal for shipping hazardous materials and other cargo that require high safety standards.

JR Freight uses the "IT-FRENS & TRACE system," a comprehensive management system for rail container transport, and the "PRANETS system," which uses GPS to pinpoint the train's location and provides information to drivers to support driving operations. This allows us to track the locations of containers and trains, and provide transport status information on our website.
