Last month, a number of containers were stuffed with BMW 1-Series and 7-Series in Europe headed for China. The BMW 7-Series LWB (Long Wheel Base) is a wide vehicle and opening doors inside a container makes loading difficult for operators. Because of this, the new DL-RAK was used in conjunction with the R-RAK, allowing for Driverless Loading. The vehicles were successfully unstuffed and has proven the effectiveness of the DL-RAK.

As more and more companies look to Trans-Rak for putting cars in containers because of our product's ability to reduce costs and handling of vehicles, it is natural that the leading logistics publications increase their coverage of this field.

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.
