Container Shipping

You may wish to ship your vehicle in a container for ultra-safe and secure worldwide transport. You will also have the added advantage of being able to send items of your personal effects at no extra cost.

The container will be loaded at one of our designated loading warehouses. One of our highly trained staff will load and secured your vehicle inside a steel shipping container using lashings and ratchets specifically designed for the task of securing vehicles. For an average saloon car we would secure a lashing, with a breaking strain of 1500kgs, from each wheel to fixed points on the container floor, this will prevent any movement and guarantee a safe journey for your vehicle.

If you wish to send items of your personal effects along with your car they will be loaded together at the back of the container by a member of our fully trained removal team. They will then secure all of the items in place using lashings which are tied to hooks inside the container. Our removal team can also prepare all items before loading by export wrapping them using furni-guard (a material designed for protecting furniture during transit)
Our main concern is for the safe and damage free shipment of your car, therefore we will only load a volume of personal effect which we deem to be safe.

With the doors closed the steel container is completely tight and sealed from the elements. A security seal is fixed to the doors and no one will have access to the vehicle until it reaches its destination apart from the local Customs authorities, should they wish to inspect the container. We then move the container from the warehouse to the overseas export terminal where the container is loaded onto a container vessel bound for the port of your choice.
