As the patented design of its R-Rak removable vehicle racking system was approaching its 10th birthday, the team at Trans-Rak turned to Loughborough University to take part in a Total Product Design project.

During a recent inspection by Trans-Rak of our Chinese manufacturing facility, a number of videos were commissioned in order to better assist with both promotion and training. There is a sales video, highlighting how the R-Rak benefits customers in a wide array of ways, ranging from reducing costs of transporting vehicles across the globe, to environmental benefits.
There are also 3 in-depth operational procedure videos. These specify every step necessary to operate the R-Rak in great detail. These can be found in the members area and upon request.

Automotive logistics companies wishing to enhance their green credentials should turn to Trans-Rak for a sustainable alternative to wooden vehicle racking, in the light of the conclusions of a study by Loughborough University*.

Trans-Rak were honoured to receive recognition for our work at reducing costs and environmental damage by our peers at the Automotive Supply Chain Global Awards.

Transporting classic cars from one hemisphere to the other takes a lot of careful thought and planning and one of the best methods is within the protective confines of a container.

When Ian Jenner, MD of Jenners Worldwide Freight Ltd was approached by the organisers of the Bugatti International Rally in New Zealand to arrange a cost effective and safe method of shipping six valuable vintage Bugatti cars from the UK to New Zealand and back, he knew he had the answer.

Since US based automotive logistics specialist CFR Rinkens - www.cfrrinkens.com - first switched from wooden racking to fully certified, steel engineered and sustainable R-Raks to move cars in containers, its business has effectively doubled and plans are underway to expand its export operations on the East Coast.

Trans-Rak’s R-Rak removable vehicle racking system has been put to the test and has come up trumps, strengthening the case for containerisation and clearly demonstrating that the steel R-Raks have substantially lower environmental impact compared to traditional wooden racking.

Trans-Rak International has issued a version of its 2 minute video about the R-Rak removable vehicle racking system so that it is accessible to its growing number of Chinese customers.

Chilean automotive logistics providers KLA have identified Trans-Rak’s versatile R-Raks vehicle racking system as the best way to ship more cars from more ports and cut freight costs at the same time.
