The craneable semi-trailer
On the road it runs as a normal semi-trailer: 2.55 m wide, 4.00 m high, 16.50 m long as an articulated vehicle. On rail it sits in the pocket of a pocket wagon such as the T3000e.
What that means: the trailer needs no conversion for rail, but lines with sufficient clearance. That is exactly what the TEN-T Regulation aims to create.
