Loading Vehicles into Containers

Cars

Our 20′ Full Container Load (FCL) container can easily accommodate a single vehicle with additional space for other items. When shipping multiple vehicles, our 40′ containers come into play:

• Two Vehicles: Both vehicles are placed on the ground level, side by side.
• Three Vehicles: One vehicle is lifted using a special frame, allowing the other two to fit underneath.
• Four Vehicles: While not recommended, it is possible to fit four smaller cars into a 40′ container. This involves careful stacking and precise bracing to ensure safety during transit.

Our experienced staff will block and brace each vehicle, securing it firmly to prevent any movement and damage during the journey.

Boats

Shipping boats requires special handling and preparation:

• Building a Frame: A custom frame can be constructed to securely hold the boat in place within the container.
• Rotating the Boat: Some boats can be rotated to fit more efficiently into the container.
• On Trailers: Boats can also be shipped on their trailers, which are then secured within the container to prevent movement.

Motorcycles and ATVs

Smaller vehicles like motorcycles and ATVs are either braced directly into the container or placed in custom crates for added protection. Here’s how we handle them:

• Bracing: Directly securing the vehicle to the container walls and floor using straps and blocks.
• Crating: Building a custom crate around the vehicle to provide an extra layer of protection against external forces.
