Sports cars, classic cars, and vintage cars need special care and handling when you plan to be shipped properly. Repairing damages for these cars can be comparatively expansive and perhaps difficulty finding the right body shops. Which may end up creating headache than it’s supposed to. 

Most spots cars Ground clearance are much less than the regular cars 

  1. If you are shipping by Container, then container need to be grounded
  2. Build a platform to the container door beginning from 1-inch Hight 
  3. Do not use crane or forklift to load the car 
  4. Drive the car in to the container 
  5. Keep the space enough for the driver to open the door and come out from the car 
  6. Car wheels shouldn’t roll, a lumber break wheal to be nailed to the container floor 
  7. Car lashing must be with strong belts, 
  8. No play / tolerance to be given 
  9.  loading need to be by the most experienced professionals 
  10. Car Lashing Equipment cannot be the regular ones, need to have special hooks, chains, shekels and lashing belts.  

Here are some things you need to consider in order to have a smooth shipping experience and have your engine roar down the streets as soon as possible.

As we all know Sports cars are considered a luxury cars, and therefore it needs more careful handling than any regular car does. 

Location of Loading. Due to the fact that the containerized shipping is the safest mode of transportation, compare to the RORO shipping, or even a car carrier. (if you are using a dedicated covered recovery vehicle with lashing will be okay for short distances or neighboring countries) Loading location is equally important. I personally recommend that you should visit the car loading location before signup any shipping agent.  

Ground Clearance: Please remember the ground clearance if it is less than 5” definitely you need a specialist to handle your car.
