End-to-end door-to-door service combining road pickup, rail trunk haul, and road last-mile delivery. Single invoice, single point of contact, full visibility.
Over-dimensional and heavy cargo via rail flat wagons. Route surveys, clearance approvals, and escort coordination for transformers, turbines, and heavy machinery.
Temperature-controlled containers via rail for pharma, frozen food, and perishables. Real-time temperature monitoring with IoT sensors during transit.

Strategic advantages of multimodal logistics for long-haul cargo
25-40% lower freight cost compared to full road transport on distances above 800 km. Volume economics scale with container and rake bookings.
Rail freight produces 75% fewer CO2 emissions per tonne-km than road. Meet your ESG targets and sustainability commitments with greener logistics.
Move hundreds of tonnes in a single rake. No vehicle shortage concerns, no driver fatigue risks. Consistent capacity even during monsoon and festival seasons.
Dedicated freight corridors and time-tabled services ensure predictable transit times. Not affected by highway congestion, toll delays, or road conditions.
Sealed containers with minimal handling. Lower pilferage and damage risk compared to multi-handling road transport. Ideal for high-value and sensitive cargo.
India’s Dedicated Freight Corridors (Western and Eastern DFC) are transforming rail logistics — faster transit, higher throughput, and better reliability.

Everything about rail cargo and multimodal freight with Safe & Secure Logistics
Multimodal freight combines two or more transport modes (rail + road, rail + sea, etc.) in a single shipment under one contract. Safe & Secure Logistics specialises in road-rail-road multimodal, offering door-to-door service that leverages rail’s cost efficiency and road’s last-mile flexibility.
Rail freight is most cost-effective for distances above 800 km and cargo weight above 5 tonnes. It’s ideal for bulk commodities, container loads, and regular lane movements. SSL’s multimodal service gives you rail savings with road convenience — no need to manage multiple vendors.
Almost all cargo types — containerised goods, bulk commodities (steel, cement, chemicals), automobiles, food grains, FMCG, and even temperature-controlled goods via reefer containers. SSL handles both standard and over-dimensional cargo via specialised rail wagons.
Rail transit times are comparable to road on DFC corridors and often faster for distances above 1500 km. Delhi-Mumbai takes 48-72 hours, Delhi-Chennai 72-96 hours. When you factor in consistency and zero-fatigue advantage, rail often beats road on reliability.
SSL provides end-to-end tracking via our customer portal. Road legs are GPS-tracked in real-time. Rail segments are tracked via Indian Railways and CONCOR systems. You receive milestone alerts at pickup, rail loading, transit, unloading, and delivery.
India’s Western DFC (Delhi-Mumbai) and Eastern DFC (Delhi-Kolkata) are dedicated rail lines exclusively for freight. They offer faster transit, higher axle loads, and double-stack container capability. SSL is fully positioned to leverage DFC for superior multimodal service.
