That is why SWIFT Transport International Logistics has ordered an additional 60 R-Raks from Trans-Rak International. Since 2014 the Chinese automotive logistics specialist has been utilising the removable vehicle racking system to fit more cars into containers and transport them via overland rail routes in just over three weeks, which is half the time it would take by sea passage. As well boosting business, R-Raks enable SWIFT to provide excellent service to their customers. The secure racking protects the cars during transit so that they arrive in perfect condition; while the flexibility of the design optimises container space to keep down freight costs. Paul Donaldson, Trans-Rak’s MD comments: “Vehicle racking is making all the difference to logistics firms looking to maximise their services in emerging markets. More and more logistics providers are recognising the advantage of significantly shorter shipping times on the Sino-Russian route, as well as benefiting from reduced freight costs with zero damages.” - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![The Containerised Car Transport Guide](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2529920/556e511a-a8a6-4b27-9835-9a0057717cac.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2529920/556e511a-a8a6-4b27-9835-9a0057717cac) ### Subscribe to Email Updates ### Recent Posts ![](https://blog.trans-rak.com/hubfs/ChatGPT%20Image%20Jun%2024%2c%202026%2c%2012_19_47%20PM.png) [Trans-Rak Proud to Support Successful Parkinson's UK Charity Golf Day](https://blog.trans-rak.com/trans-rak-proud-to-support-successful-parkinsons-uk-charity-golf-day) (2 July, 2026) ![](https://blog.trans-rak.com/hubfs/IMG_6814.jpeg) [Welcome Lance Hunt to the Trans-Rak Team](https://blog.trans-rak.com/welcome-lance-hunt-to-the-trans-rak-team) (24 June, 2026) ![](https://blog.trans-rak.com/hubfs/IMG_7090.jpg) [How to Calculate the Carbon Footprint of Car Transport: Models, Methods, and Data Inputs?](https://blog.trans-rak.com/calculating-carbon-footprint-multi-vehicle-transport) (11 June, 2026) ![](https://blog.trans-rak.com/hubfs/GEFCO%20Polestar%20EL-RAK%20Loading%20no%20people%20or%20branding.png) [EV Exports Are Reshaping How Cars Move Across the Ocean](https://blog.trans-rak.com/ev-exports-reshape-car-containerisation) (4 June, 2026) ![](https://blog.trans-rak.com/hubfs/IMG_1794.jpg) [Digital Twins in Container Planning: How Simulation Is Optimising Vehicle Logistics](https://blog.trans-rak.com/digital-twins-optimising-finished-vehicle-racking) (28 May, 2026) ### Follow Us - [![facebook-icon](https://blog.trans-rak.com/hubfs/Trans_Rak_Oct_2016/Image/8f2083b7f516bc701941adb38381e2d6.jpg)](https://www.facebook.com/TransRak?fref=nf) - [![twitter-icon](https://blog.trans-rak.com/hubfs/Trans_Rak_Oct_2016/Image/8f6184c574cd183c5723c8eef9126a8d.jpg)](https://twitter.com/trans_rak) - [![linkedin-icon](https://blog.trans-rak.com/hubfs/Trans_Rak_Oct_2016/Image/f81288cef4de8223015ce3dabe23a0c4_1.png)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/trans-rak-international?trk=top_nav_home) Search this site on Google Search Google ### Posts by Tag - [Containerised Car Transport (160)](https://blog.trans-rak.com/topic/containerised-car-transport) - [Car Transport (72)](https://blog.trans-rak.com/topic/car-transport) - [Containerisation (60)](https://blog.trans-rak.com/topic/containerisation) - [News (54)](https://blog.trans-rak.com/topic/news) - [Automotive Racking Systems (49)](https://blog.trans-rak.com/topic/automotive-racking-systems) - [R-RAK (28)](https://blog.trans-rak.com/topic/r-rak) - [RORO (21)](https://blog.trans-rak.com/topic/roro) - [EL Rak (17)](https://blog.trans-rak.com/topic/el-rak) - [Finished Vehicle Logistics (6)](https://blog.trans-rak.com/topic/finished-vehicle-logistics) - [automotive vehicle logistics (2)](https://blog.trans-rak.com/topic/automotive-vehicle-logistics) - [Export logistics (1)](https://blog.trans-rak.com/topic/export-logistics) - [automotive logistics (1)](https://blog.trans-rak.com/topic/automotive-logistics) see all [![Cars in Containers](https://blog.trans-rak.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Trans_Rak_Oct_2016/Image/277bf4_bed8cb531c49438d8ae6b305dac2a92f-mv1.png?width=700&name=277bf4_bed8cb531c49438d8ae6b305dac2a92f-mv1.png "Cars in Containers")](https://www.trans-rak.com/) - [![twitter-logo](https://blog.trans-rak.com/hubfs/Trans_Rak_Oct_2016/Image/277bf4_689f32875876480f8c6f8edd425e9b77.png)](https://twitter.com/trans_rak)[![facebook-logo](https://blog.trans-rak.com/hubfs/Trans_Rak_Oct_2016/Image/277bf4_ab3b3d5c7e9d402a910db2f78f3fc797.png)](https://www.facebook.com/TransRak?fref=nf) - [![linkedin-logo](https://blog.trans-rak.com/hubfs/Trans_Rak_Oct_2016/Image/277bf4_02ed9b5f40f5456aad442d37169aac06.png)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/5062356?trk=prof-0-ovw-curr_pos)[![youtube-logo](https://blog.trans-rak.com/hubfs/Trans_Rak_Oct_2016/Image/277bf4_ce0a3e895eb244498401c88a0a1a0ddd.png)](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLNM_dZ_c2BT1PoyEQ4aSWA) [![site-address](https://blog.trans-rak.com/hubfs/Trans_Rak_Oct_2016/Image/41d000_c7032728bd0c1d4361102c23fb672912.png)](https://blog.trans-rak.com/contact-us) 5 Corunna Court, Corunna Road, Warwick, CV34 5HQ, United Kingdom © Trans-Rak 2026 All Rights Reserved Call us on +44 1926 40 82 82 - [Email us](mailto:mail@trans-rak.com?subject=Website%20Enquiry) - [Contact us](https://blog.trans-rak.com/contact-us) - [Subscribe](https://blog.trans-rak.com/get-the-latest-from-trans-rak)
