AutoShippers recently embarked on the specialised task of shipping two bespoke, luxury Land Rover Defenders from the UK to the USA. These weren't just standard vehicles; they were meticulously crafted, blending robust off-road capability with high-end luxury, making them highly prized collector's items. Our expertise in international car shipping ensured these valuable vehicles were handled with the utmost care and precision throughout their journey.

Preparing and securing the Defenders for transit involved a meticulous, multi-layered process:

  • Container Inspection: A thorough inspection of the 40-foot shipping container ensured cleanliness and dryness, eliminating potential damage risks.
  • Careful Loading: The Land Rovers were carefully driven into the container using a specialised ramp.
  • Wheel Chocking: Heavy-duty wooden chocks were strategically placed around each wheel and securely fastened to the container floor, providing a robust anchor.
  • Ratchet Strapping: Specialist padded ratchet straps were carefully positioned over the tyres and frame, preventing movement and protecting the vehicles' finish.
  • Strategic Positioning: Careful planning ensured optimal weight distribution within the container, crucial for stability during the voyage.
  • Final Inspection: A meticulous double-check of all chocks and straps confirmed everything was secure, guaranteeing the vehicles' immobility during transit.

This comprehensive approach, executed by our experienced team, ensured the safe and secure transport of these valuable vehicles.

Once secured, the container was transported to London Gateway Port and loaded onto the "Al Manamah," a large container ship. Our 40-foot container joined thousands of others on the 25-day journey to Houston, USA. We partner with leading shipping lines, offering real-time tracking for customer peace of mind.
