When it comes to shipping, there are many different cost variables. Usually, a broker will handle all of the minutiae and offer the best deal. However, it can help to know what goes on behind the scenes. Let’s take a look!

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.

Logistics companies are always on the hunt for cost-cutting car transportation solutions. That’s why the industry is highly competitive. While new options seem to be appearing on a regular basis, only a small number of them make a real difference in containerised transport.

Saving money on shipping is one of the key goals many car manufacturers and logistics companies try to achieve. Since vehicle transportation comes with many nuances, it’s often costly, time-consuming, frustrating, and nerve-racking.

Are you an entrepreneur considering overseas car trading as a venture? Cars can be big business. The UK in particular has a rich transport heritage, with a strong market in the USA, Europe, India, and Asia. Whether the aim is to ship classic vehicles, top-end models, or everyday transport, these trade routes are bursting with opportunities.

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.
