Vehicle Protection

Enhanced Moisture Protection

Protecting your valuable cargo from all elements during transit is paramount. We implement robust moisture protection strategies using industrial-grade desiccant bags.

These powerful absorbers draw excess humidity from the air inside the container, preventing:

  • Mould and mildew growth
  • Corrosion on metal parts
  • Warping or damage to sensitive materials

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How many cars can fit in different container sizes?

Container capacity depends on vehicle size: 20ft containers typically hold 1-2 cars, 40ft containers hold 3-4 cars, and 45ft high cube containers can accommodate 4-5 vehicles. Using R-Rak systems allows for multi-level loading to maximise space.

What is the R-Rak loading system?

R-Rak is a specialised racking system that allows multiple vehicles to be loaded on different levels within a container. This maximises container space and allows more vehicles to be shipped cost-effectively while maintaining safety and security.

How do you protect vehicles from moisture during shipping?

We use comprehensive moisture protection including silica gel bags and modern moisture capture tubing systems. These absorb excess moisture inside the container, preventing condensation damage during ocean transport.

Can you load non-running vehicles?

Yes, we have specialised forklift and lifting equipment to handle non-running vehicles. Our experienced team can safely load vehicles in any condition, ensuring they are properly secured for transport.

Do you arrange the shipping container?

We can handle the complete process, either organising containers for global destinations on your behalf, or simply providing professional loading services for containers you have arranged. We offer flexible solutions to meet your needs.
