R-RAK® In-Container Vehicle Racking System
Advanced Vehicle Container Loading Solutions
The R-RAK® In-Container Racking System is an innovative vehicle loading solution designed to maximise container space while providing a safe, secure and cost-effective method of transporting vehicles internationally. This advanced removable racking system enables multiple vehicles to be loaded inside a single shipping container by safely elevating one vehicle above another, making far more efficient use of the available container space.
Unlike traditional vehicle container loading methods, the R-RAK® system allows vehicles of different sizes to be securely positioned within the container without causing damage during transit. The system is fully removable and reusable, making it an environmentally friendly and highly economical solution for international vehicle shipping.
Whether you are shipping passenger cars, classic vehicles, luxury vehicles, SUVs, 4x4s, light commercial vehicles or specialist vehicles, the R-RAK® system provides an efficient and professional loading solution that helps reduce shipping costs while maintaining the highest standards of cargo safety.
What is the R-RAK® Vehicle Racking System?
The R-RAK® system is a specially engineered removable steel vehicle racking frame that fits inside standard ISO shipping containers. Once installed, the system safely lifts and secures vehicles into the upper section of the container, allowing additional vehicles to be loaded beneath.
This innovative design significantly increases container capacity, allowing customers to ship more vehicles within a single container compared to conventional loading methods.
The system can be installed into virtually all standard shipping containers, including:
- 20ft Containers
- 40ft Standard Containers
- 40ft High Cube Containers
- Pallet Wide Containers
- Selected Special Equipment Containers
Once the shipment reaches its destination, the R-RAK® system can be quickly dismantled and packed away for reuse on future shipments.

Lower Shipping Costs
One of the greatest advantages of the R-RAK® system is the potential reduction in international shipping costs.
Because more vehicles can be loaded into a single container, customers benefit from lower transportation costs per vehicle. This makes container shipping significantly more economical for:
- Vehicle Dealers
- Motor Traders
- Vehicle Exporters
- Fleet Companies
- Leasing Companies
- Auction Buyers
- Vehicle Manufacturers
- Private Customers Shipping Multiple Vehicles
For businesses exporting vehicles regularly, these savings can be substantial over time.
Safe and Secure Vehicle Transportation
Vehicle safety is a priority throughout every shipment.
Each vehicle loaded using the R-RAK® system is professionally secured using specialist restraint systems designed to minimise movement during transit. Vehicles remain safely positioned throughout the ocean voyage, helping reduce the risk of accidental movement or damage.
Unlike Roll-on Roll-off (RoRo) shipping, containerised transport also offers additional protection from:
- Weather conditions
- Saltwater exposure
- Dust
- Theft
- Vandalism
- Port handling damage
This makes container shipping using the R-RAK® system an excellent choice for valuable, prestige and classic vehicles.
Flexible Container Loading
The R-RAK® system has been engineered to accommodate different vehicle dimensions and loading configurations.
Its adjustable design allows combinations of:
- Small Cars
- Family Saloons
- Hatchbacks
- Estates
- SUVs
- 4×4 Vehicles
- Light Commercial Vehicles
This flexibility allows customers to maximise every shipment while making the most efficient use of available container space.
Reusable and Environmentally Friendly
Unlike permanent container racking systems, the R-RAK® is fully removable and reusable.
After unloading, the equipment can be dismantled and packed into compact transport pods ready for redistribution to another loading location.
Up to 60 R-RAK® pods can be transported inside a single 40ft High Cube container, making repositioning efficient and cost-effective.
Its reusable design reduces waste while improving sustainability across international vehicle logistics operations.
