Multi-vehicle racking systems are – quite literally – making waves. But does car container shipping really save money? From safety to efficiency, here’s a quick guide to cheap car shipping.

When it comes to shipping luxury goods such as cars, it pays to get it right. Gone are the days when the only options were antiquated RoRo ferries. Today, suppliers can make use of streamlined and efficient containerised methods. Here, we take a look at the various options, and how they can be optimised.

Shipping cars to America is a popular request, and with new trade deals on the horizon as Brexit draws closer, it’s likely to be a market that continues to grow. However, what’s involved? Shipping cars to the US can seem complicated, but in reality, the system is designed so that once the decision to ship has been made, the only real question is whether to opt for a RORO ferry, or a container ship.

Vehicles come in all shapes and sizes, and that’s why the R-RAK was designed. PT Nusantara Auto Trans demonstrated this in November 2018, when they loaded two SUVs and a pickup into one 40ft container.

Transporting high-end and luxury cars requires very high levels of safety and security. The customer turned to the R-RAK in October 2018 when a valuable fleet of McLaren GT4 racing cars had to be shipped to Bahrain.

Do you need to move complicated combinations of vehicles quickly and safely? Many countries, including India, are offering incentives for vehicles to be transported by new container routes.

Did you think that cars can only be shipped in large 40ft containers? Think again. The R-RAK works equally well in any High Cube container, and Enterprise Shipping have been making the most of this by loading and shipping two Hyundai vehicles in a single 20ft container. As you can see from the pictures, the result is a neat, clean and efficient loading.

Four cars in one container! Have you ever wondered how that works? You’re not alone. One of the first questions that clients often ask is how our iconic R-Rak containerised vehicle solution achieves something that many people once believed was impossible.

Making the case for containerised vehicle solutions is easy! But have you ever wondered what sets one company apart from another? Over the last thirty years, we have seen lots of new companies try to jump on the bandwagon – with varying degrees of success.

It goes without saying that Trans-Rak steel framed car racking systems for containerised transport are the starting point for safe, secure and efficient transport. Although the great benefit of using the Trans-Rak system is optimising the payload within shipping containers, this is not the priority when loading vehicles.
