The object of research is a cheap, easy-to-build basic module and multi-platform sets, obtained by combining basic modules with dimensions corresponding to typical railway containers: 10' (with a length of up to 3m), 20' (length of up to 6m), 30' (length of up to 9m). Such structures can be used to support the intermodal rail-road transport of wooden and metal logs. Such a structure with various longitudinal dimensions ensures high mobility resulting from the modular structure and the possibility of selecting transport configurations as well as the use of various forms of loading / unloading, including: typical crane operations, the use of forklifts or hook winches. The use of a platform-container will eliminate the need to repeat the operation of individual loading or unloading of each unit of the transported load (e.g. a single block of wood, a bundle of bars, as a metal log, a single pipe, etc.) during each reloading operation (from the place of logging, production, storage, etc.). A single basic module of the platform has the dimensions of a 10' railway container.
