The new DL-RAK has been used to load wide BMW 7-series into a container during December. Using Trans-Rak equipment, the vehicles were loaded without the need for a driver to open a car door or for any loaders to pass along the side of the vehicle during the securing process. This means that the possibility of damaging a vehicle has gone from highly unlikely to zero!

The R-RAK, software development, DL-RAK and the R-RAK Pallet-Wide are all featured in the September 2016 issue of the Journal of the International Cargo Industry.

Working out how many cars you can fit into a standard 40ft HC container is no longer a manual exercise thanks to new software developed by WMG at Warwick University in conjunction with vehicle racking experts Trans-Rak International.

Trans-Rak International, designers and manufacturers of racking systems for automotive logistics, have announced the launch of an innovative new solution for loading wide vehicles into containers.

When Paul Donaldson spots the word ‘innovation’ being applied to a so called revolutionary new method of transporting vehicles, those making the claim must be prepared to present a robust argument to prove the case.

‘New’ wooden cassette-style vehicle racking not as green as it could be

Korean car maker SsangYong is the latest manufacturer to identify R-Rak vehicle racking as the best way to maximise container space for its Tivoli 4 x 4 crossover.

Trans-Rak has revolutionised cars in containers with its patented vehicle racking solution R-Rak and has now responded to demands of customers dealing in containers of different sizes with the introduction of a new product, the completely width-adjustable R-Rak Pallet-Wide.

Car handling specialists Marlog used 300 sets of Trans-Rak’s sustainable* reusable R-Rak vehicle racking system for a major shipment of brand new zero emission BMW i3s.

It’s a startling fact that finished vehicles were the last product in the world to be containerised for shipment across the globe. So, when Paul Donaldson looked at the traditional way of constructing vehicle racking with ‘wood, string and nails’, he knew he had to come up with an alternative, if it was to be done properly.
