Abstract: A transfer arrangement for transferring a semi-trailer onto an intermodal pocket wagon from a ground location beside the wagon, or vice versa, may include base roller beams of a first lifting mechanism supported by the ground at the ground location and intended for lifting the semi-trailer up from the ground. Corresponding wagon roller beams of a second lifting mechanism may be supported by the rail or the ground under the wagon. The wagon roller beams may be elevated to substantially the same height as the base roller beams or lowered towards the ground. A transfer mechanism may be provided for transferring the semi-trailer sideways from the first lifting mechanism to the second lifting mechanism in the elevated condition thereof.

Abstract: A transfer arrangement (13) for transferring a semi-trailer (8) onto an intermodal pocket wagon (1) from a ground location beside the wagon, or vice versa, includes base roller beams (15) of first lifting means (15, 20?) supported by the ground at the ground location and intended for lifting the semi-trailer (8) up from the ground, corresponding wagon roller beams (17) of second lifting means (16-18) to be supported by the rail or the ground under the wagon and intended for being elevated to substantially the same height as the base roller beams (15) or for being lowered towards the ground, and transfer means (19) for transferring the semi-trailer (8) sideways from the first to the second lifting means in the elevated condition thereof.
