R-Rak is a reusable steel cradle system that lets us stack up to four cars inside a single 40ft high-cube container. Cars are racked at two levels with no contact between vehicles, then the rack is lashed to the container floor and walls.
It is a specific type of shared container that uses a four-level steel rack rather than wheel-lash floor loading. R-Rak typically squeezes one extra vehicle into the same 40ft, which is why per-vehicle pricing is lower.
No. The rack physically separates each vehicle. Tyres sit in moulded chocks and the chassis is restrained by soft slings — no metal-to-paint contact.
Yes. Cars are winched onto the rack, so a non-runner is fine provided the wheels turn and steering is functional.
On busy routes such as UAE, USA East Coast and Australia, 5 to 10 days. On lower-volume routes, 2 to 4 weeks. We confirm the sailing date before booking.
