Internal-loading shipping container racking systems such as the R-RAK are perfect for transporting most vehicles, but what about sports cars, vintage vehicles, and cars that can’t drive under their own power? In certain cases, it may not be possible to drive a car onto an internal loading racking system, or it may be too risky to do so.

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.

When it comes to transporting high-value cars on a deadline, nobody wants the hassle of complex loading and unloading procedures. Ease of use is one of the inspirations for the revolutionary EL-RAK. At the cutting edge of containerised racking design, the EL-RAK means that cars can be safely positioned onto an external cassette, which is then neatly loaded into the container with complete efficiency. Here’s everything that you need to know about loading cars into containers.

An EL-RAK is one of the quickest and easiest ways to securely load up to four vehicles into a container. Here is a quick guide to how it’s done.

Trans-Rak International launches the new EL-RAK which is an exterior loading cassette system for loading all types of vehicles in any size of ISO shipping container. This new product compliments Trans-Rak’s existing racking systems, giving the customer complete choice of either loading inside the container or outside. This, along with the DL-RAK for loading cars along the floor of the container and SKD-RAK for loading bodies, completes a suite of products to meet any customer need.

Our new EL-RAK external racking system was put through its paces in a March 2018 trial for Marlog Car Handling (Netherlands). The object was to determine whether or not three Volvo XC60s could be loaded into a single 40 foot HC container.

The EL-Rak is the natural evolution of the R-Rak. Using the same fundamental engineering principles, our latest rack is designed to enhance flexibility.

Are you familiar with the iconic R-RAK, but curious about the other racks that we offer? The EL-RAK is one of our favourites, and Autobox agree.

We are delighted to announce that our new external racking solution, the EL-RAK, is available to order now. As regular readers of this blog will know, the EL-RAK has been in development for over 12 months. Development was carried out in consultation with key customers and stakeholders in the industry, and the product has undergone extensive testing and certification before being released to the market. Along with all Trans-Rak products, the EL-RAK is certified for quality internally by Singamas quality controllers and independently inspected by China Classification Society.
