GTS : Technical advantages

Capacity of a line
–

More than 1,500 40-foot containers per hour, or 2,000 20-foot containers per hour.

Secure transfer from the ship to storage areas
–

Containers travel above the ground level, without driver, at a speed of 11 meters/second, and it is possible to have security vehicles patrol on an upper line, above the containers.

Transport of all types of goods
–

Possibility to transport containers of all sizes, tanks, palletized goods, raw materials, end products,...

Operation not influenced by weather conditions
–

All the mechanical parts of the system (wheels, brakes, speed regulation system) are protected from bad weather and the operation remains constant in case of snow, rain, fog, frost,…

Speed
–

Constant and uninterrupted speed of 40 km/h (24 mph).

Flexibility of distribution
–

Can easily be integrated all the way to the centre of industrial areas, factories or any other place where required; with a capacity of 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles per hour, the GTS is “a highway reaching the heart of industrial areas”.

Easy connection to the network
–

Any factory can easily be linked to the network. Goods can be sent on the network at any time; grouping goods to send them is not necessary anymore since all goods travel separately.
