Takkyubin containers?

[underworld]

Does the shipping company Takkyubin have any railway containers? Looking to see if there are any photos if so.

Thanks!!!

Yes, they certainly do.  Various types.

This blog has a lot of pictures of containers,as well as other types of freight cars:

a google image search of "宅急便　コンテナ" (takkyubin KONTENA [container]) or "ヤマト　コンテナ" (Yamato KONTENA) should help.

Here is a Yamato Takkyubin TV commercial I have seen a lot.  Advertises their "modal shift" to rail:

Thanks bikkuri bahn & qwertyaardvark!!!!

Definitely stuff I wasn't able to find before!!!

 

On the wingroof type (a type I'd not seen before) are those two smaller containers in a larger housing? When the wing is in the "up" position is that to protect from rainfall on whatever is being loaded/unloaded?

 

Thanks

I'm not a truck expert, but wing roof van bodies are common in Japan for non-refrigerated haulage.  I believe they allow rapid loading/unloading of pallets with forklifts.
