We love motorsport here at Trans-Rak. Not only have we been privileged to work for several customers within the motorsport industry, but we are also lucky enough to be sponsors of the Caterham Academy series for 2019.

Transporting a small group of cars has always been a headache. Whether the purpose is for a sporting event, an auction, or simply to relocate a vehicle collection, roll-on-roll-off (RORO) ferries have never been able to offer an ideal solution. This is one of the reasons that investors are turning towards containerised strategies.

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.
