Carries up to 6 large vehicles
40ft and 45ft or Longer
The car transportation units are available in 40ft, 45ft and longer to special order this giving them the ability to carry 6 large 4X4, tall vehicles or sports utilities. The auto transportation decks are raised and lowered hydraulically to load and discharge vehicles at Factory or retail premises making it the ultimate cars in containers car transportation system.
Autos in Containers from AutoRack
Lower cost delivery
By road, rail or sea, AutoRack is the complete intermodal cars in containers auto transportation delivery option. By road, plentiful chassis fleets compete to deliver your AutoRack to any destination without fuss.
Likewise by rail, regular flat car, skeletal wagons or double-stack rail, cars in containers (or if you prefer autos in containers) are there to serve you taking as many as 12 vehicles per rail car.
At sea AutoRack can now catch daily Lo-Lo sailings to any container port.
Land and storage efficiency
Land can be freed up for other uses. Smaller shipping consignments of cars means smaller stocks and less land be it at factory, port or terminal.

But even if stocks do need to be built up, land requirement is massively reduced. AutoRack
car racks can be close stacked 5 or six high enabling storage of 4000 vehicles per acre compared to just 220 vehicles on the ground.
More than a car transporter
Five AutoRack cars in containers fold and nest into a 40ft or 45ft ISO module for economical transport and storage.
Besides cars, the AutoRack car carrier can carry lightweight distributed cargo such as pipes or timber transported on the cargo decks.
Just in time delivery
Straight off the production line and onto the AutoRack is a practical ideal. No longer need cars be stocked in numbers large enough to make a train, or sea going vessel an economic proposition. The potential inventory cost saving alone is very substantial.

Handling damage reduction
Each time an automobile is moved from one mode of
car transportation or location to another, it risks being damaged. It is estimated that a five-fold reduction in
auto transportation interchanges can be achieved when shipping vehicles by AutoRack
auto carrier.
Once loaded on the AutoRack container no further auto movement is needed. This brings the proven benefits of containerisation of very low cargo damage.
Safer storage
Theft and vandalism can be substantially reduced by being able to limit access to cars stowed on AutoRack cars in containers. When close stacked the cars form a security block.
Car Transportation
Transhipment advantages
Transshipment of vehicles on Ro-Ro vessels can be a logistical nightmare - not so for AutoRack car carriers. Transshipment is part of any normal container operation, and so too for AutoRack shipments, large or small. If it is one AutoRack consignment or 100, any container port can handle it.
Auto Transportation
Stacking units to store or move to new destination
Once the units have been unloaded they can be moved 5 in a stack back to original port or new destination, this stack is equivalent to a 9.6" high cube container.
