According to the International Maritime Organisation, shipping emits approximately 1,000 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide each year, constituting 3 per cent of global CO² emissions - a figure that is expected to rise by up to 50 per cent by 2050 unless strict countermeasures are taken. Optimising the use of container space when transporting vehicles is a positive way to reduce emissions and, at Trans-Rak, we are committed to helping your business to improve its reputation for sustainable practices.
How Trans-Rak Vehicle Loading Systems Can Continue To Support Sustainable Transportation
Trans-Rak vehicle loading systems offer significant advantages in enhancing sustainability in several ways:
Optimising Container Space
Our innovative R-RAK vehicle loading system enables the utilisation of previously unused roof space within containers, allowing up to four cars to be loaded into a 40-foot container. By maximising the vertical space, more vehicles can be loaded into each container, minimising wasted space and reducing the number of containers required for transportation. Consequently, fewer containers are needed to transport the same number of vehicles, leading to a reduction in resource consumption and emissions associated with container production and shipping.
Reduced Environmental Impact
With fewer containers required to transport the same number of vehicles, the environmental impact of shipping is significantly reduced. Fewer container shipments mean lower fuel consumption, fewer emissions, and decreased traffic congestion, contributing to overall environmental sustainability. Also, the ability to ship more vehicles simultaneously minimises the cost and carbon footprint per vehicle transported, further enhancing the environmental benefits.
A Zero-Waste Commitment
Trans-Rak loading systems are manufactured from fully recyclable full-grade steel using sustainable production processes to reduce carbon emissions. Because our R-RAK loading systems offer exceptional durability and a robust construction that is designed for longevity, they can withstand multiple uses and can be easily adapted to fit different containers. Reusability reduces the need for different configurations, while their seven to ten-year lifecycle eliminates the need for frequent replacements. The extended lifespan of our vehicle loading systems enhances resource efficiency and reduces the carbon emissions associated with manufacturing processes.
