LogServ relies on MOBILER

voestalpine AG is a leading global steel and technology group. Since 2007, its logistics subsidiary LogServ has relied on RCG's logistics solutions to handle the transport of steel mill dust from Linz to Germany for disposal, while plastic granulate returns from Fürstenwalde to voestalpine – used as a sustainable alternative to coal or coke in the blast furnace process. 

Smooth transfer between truck and wagon 

In Linz, the MOBILER bulk containers are filled directly at an automated facility. Built-in weighing technology ensures each container reaches its target weight before the system automatically switches to the next. On the way to the carrier wagon, the containers pass a calibrated scale and all required shipping documents are generated automatically. They are then transferred to the RCG carrier wagons, ready for environmentally friendly onward transport by train to Duisburg or Freiberg – either via single wagonload or the TransFER Linz–Duisburg–Wels. 

A closed-loop logistics solution 

At the destination, the containers are tipped backward for unloading. The empty containers are then transported by rail to Fürstenwalde, where they are filled with plastic granulate and reloaded for the return trip to Linz in single wagonloads. The result is a seamless logistics cycle that runs efficiently thanks to clearly defined processes and close coordination between all parties involved. Despite having its own connecting sidings, voestalpine deliberately relies on the flexibility of combining rail and truck, using the advantages of both modes of transport. MOBILER closes the gap between the track and loading point – whether a siding is available or not. 

Everything from a single source 

Each year, around 70,000 tonnes of steel mill dust and 25,000 tonnes of plastic granulate are transported in this way. RCG provides the complete service package – from equipment to traction. LogServ handles the first mile with its own MOBILER trucks, while RCG takes care of the last mile in Germany. This long-standing partnership shows how modern industrial logistics works today: efficiently, reliably and sustainably.
