When it comes to shipping vehicles across the globe, nothing matters more than safety and reliability. At Trans-Rak International, we understand that every car you ship carries value, reputation and responsibility. That’s why we go above and beyond to ensure our racking systems are not only innovative but also independently tested and certified to the highest international standards.

What a weekend. What a finale. What a result! We’re beyond proud to share that Trans-Rak’s very own Wes Payne is the 2025 7 Racing 420 Sportsman Champion after an unforgettable showdown at Snetterton. 🏆

As the logistics industry seeks greener and more efficient solutions to global shipping, containerised vehicle transport is increasingly taking the spotlight. Pairing car racks with shipping containers is a marriage made in heaven, giving automotive manufacturers and logistics businesses a powerful way of meeting the demands of global vehicle shipping while enhancing sustainability at the same time.

Picking our jaws off the floor for a moment, that you may not have heard of a car racking system (!), the fact remains that containerised car transport is still the minority option in finished vehicle Logistics.

This weekend marks an exciting milestone for Trans-Rak International, as our very own Wes Payne takes to the track at Snetterton for the final round of the 7 Racing UK Championship 2025.

The automotive shipping industry is evolving, especially with the surge in demand for shipping electric and used vehicles in containers. As this growth continues, so does the need for reliable, safe and sustainable vehicle transport solutions. Unfortunately, some companies have resorted to using disposable racking systems to cut costs, at the expense of efficiency, vehicle safety, and environmental responsibility.

The global shipping industry faces a crossroads in summer 2025. Rising demand has increased pressure on established supply chains, while ongoing tariff uncertainties and container shortages are forcing operators to raise questions about prices and availability.

The electric and hybrid vehicle revolution has transformed the way that consumers purchase and operate cars, and has also posed significant challenges for automotive businesses.

Car loading in containers has become an increasingly common solution for businesses looking to streamline their vehicle logistics operation.

Global trade is in flux in 2025, and the finished vehicle Logistics (FVL) sector is feeling the strain.
