1. Road mode

   • Highway Infrastructure is the set of public and private roads, paved, used for land communication; vehicle traffic; the transport of cargo, people and goods.
   • Towing gear
     • PORTICO CRANE is a special type of crane that lifts the load by means of a forklift installed on a beam, which in turn is rigidly supported by two or more legs.
     • REACH STACKER The work of the Reach-Stacker crane is carried out, like that of the Trastainer, in the container terminals.
     • FORKLIFT A forklift is a rough and industrial vehicle, to transport pallet with goods and accommodate them on shelves. Supports heavy loads, and saves working hours
   • Container equipment used in road transport
     • REEFER, also called refrigerated container It is characterized by keeping a temperature under 0. It has its own equipment for generating cold. They are designed for refrigerated transport, cargo transport that requires a specific temperature.
     • CONAIR, also called phortole insular container. It is used in goods transport that requires a constant temperature, but unlike the reefer container, this one does not have a cold chamber and can not regulate the temperature
     • OPEN TOP, as the name suggests are containers without top. Normally it is canvas and removable so you can stick out the excess load. They facilitate loading and unloading in the upper area.
     • FLAT RACK, is a variation of the open top, the containers lack any of its walls. They are normally used in atypical loads and large dimensions, as in open top supplements are paid for excess load

2. Marine transport

   • Characteristics of maritime transport.
     • Large volume or bulk shipments are transported by this means because it is more profitable. The economic development of countries has been thanks to international trade, and this depends mainly on maritime transport, since thousands of products are constantly moved by this means.
     • Tipology of cargo
       • Container ships: It is said that approximately 50% of maritime trade is carried out through this type of ship. These have automation and their crew is not very large. They are loaded and unloaded with cranes. Bulk carriers: The cost is established according to the weight of the goods. Oil Tankers: They transport crude oil to refineries. Refrigerated ships: In these, goods that need to be refrigerated are transported. They are also designed to carry perishable foods, so they are faster than others. Ships for chemical cargo: They transport any chemical product and have adequate security to prevent leaks.
     • Type of sea containers
       • Dry Van. They are the most common maritime containers and they do not have refrigeration or special ventilation, they are hermetically sealed. High Cube. They are 40-foot shipping containers with a special can reach up to 9.6 feet. OpenTop. They are containers with an opening at the top and allow the merchandise to protrude. OpenSide. Maritime container for loads of 20 or 40 feet although specifically used for loads of greater dimensions in length. reefer. Maritime containers that have a special temperature conservation system, both cold and hot, adjustable by means of a thermostat, so they must be connected at all times, operating under three-phase current.

3. Multimodal, Intermodal and Pipeline

   • Concept
     • Multimodal transportation is the combination of two or more types of transportation to move a load from one place to another.
     • Intermodal transport refers to the movement of goods using different means. In other words, it is a transfer of products in which the supply chain uses different means to carry out the movement of goods from the point of production to the destination.
     • Pipeline cargo transportation belongs to the class of unmanned transportation systems, in which capsules or trains of capsules confined in a restricted space carry cargo between terminals through tubes.
   • CHARACTERISTICS
     • Multimodal transport is characterized by using more than one type of vehicle to transport cargo from its origin to its destination.
       • Intermodal transport moves unit load units, multimodal transport moves various types of cargo such as pallets, containers with a single transport contract.
         • Pipeline cargo transportation belongs to the class of unmanned transportation systems, in which capsules or trains of capsules confined in a restricted space carry cargo between terminals through tubes.
   • Transport service level
     • Level of multimodal transport service: those who contract services of this type will have the peace of mind that only one person is responsible for delivering their shipments, so that, while communication problems are reduced, it is likely that logistics costs are reduced in parallel, something of special importance when we talk about international freight transport.
       • The effectiveness of intermodal transport for international shipments places it as the ideal and advantageous alternative to achieve success in any management of the logistics plan, it provides us with a lower cost than other options, greater security and more sustainability.
         • Pipeline transport service level: currently has the infrastructure, specialized personnel and technical experience to carry out the necessary activities and provide a plan that guarantees the reliability of the integrity of the pipelines.
   • MERCHANDISE CHARACTERISTICS
     • The products that can be transported by pipeline are only the following: petroleum and liquid hydrocarbons, natural gas and gas for fuels, chemical substances.

4. Railway transport

   • WHAT IS RAIL TRANSPORT?
     • Rail transport is, since its appearance in modern times, one of the main solutions built by human beings for the land movement of both passengers and goods, forever revolutionizing the idea of transport in society
   • CHARACTERISTICS OF THE RAIL TRANSPORT SERVICE
     • The current railway line is usually not very similar to the initial versions that spread, thanks to the burning of organic fuels such as diesel, throughout the world A railway line is made up of a set of stations, traveled by a train, whether passenger, freight or mixed. In any case, these tracks can be one-way or double track Electric trains are considered to be the result of the 20th century, and of the modern versions that have been automating since 1970, to obtain today high-speed trains At the head of the train is always the locomotive, which gives movement to the convoy of wagons or containers
   • TYPOLOGY OF FREIGHT TRAINS
     • VANS: The vans are used to transport products that require protection against the elements: Some variations include shock absorbers to transport fragile cargo such as works of art, electronic components, or sensitive goods
     • GONDOLA: The gondolas are uncovered cars that transport all kinds of material that does not need protection against the environment

5. Air transport

   • Air freight transport is the logistical process of transporting goods through an aircraft with trade routes to a certain national or international destination. Choosing as a method of transport the air shipment of the goods will depend on the agreement of both parties involved, because due to their characteristics they can imply delivery time and costs different from other types of transport
     • AIR TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE
       • The basic airport infrastructure consists of runways, road lanes, aircraft parking areas, boarding bridges, passenger and cargo terminals and ground transport exchanges.
   • Characteristics
     • It is the fastest means of transport that exists. They require airports to be able to load and unload the goods. It is the most expensive transport. The security it offers is greater than that of maritime and land
       • TYPOLOGY OF CARGO AIRCRAFT
         • Specifically, there are three types of cargo for air transport that include both commercial aircraft ar cargo aircraft: conventional cargo system, full lo system and grouped cargo system.
