Introduction
When it comes to exporting vehicles internationally, safety and precision are critical. Damage-free vehicle shipping is not just about transporting a car from point A to B—it’s about preserving the value, integrity, and condition of the vehicle through every stage of the journey. At BOB Freight, our advanced lashing techniques are designed to do exactly that.
In this comprehensive guide, we explore how BOB Freight secures vehicles with industry-leading lashing systems and why our meticulous methods make us the go-to choice for global car exports from Dubai.
Why Damage-Free Vehicle Shipping Matters
Shipping a vehicle internationally exposes it to various risks: movement during transit, vibrations, environmental factors, and improper handling. A single lapse can result in scratches, dents, or major damage.
That’s why damage-free vehicle shipping requires:
- Proper vehicle assessment
- Certified loading procedures
- High-quality lashing materials
- Professional handling
At BOB Freight, every vehicle we handle is treated with the utmost care, ensuring it arrives at its destination in pristine condition.
BOB Freight's Expert Lashing Techniques
1. Pre-Loading Vehicle Inspection
Before any loading begins, we perform a detailed inspection of the vehicle. This includes:
- Recording the existing condition with photos
- Checking for loose parts or accessories
- Assessing the vehicle’s size and ground clearance
This allows us to customize the lashing and loading process.
2. Strategic Positioning in Containers or RoRo
Depending on the shipment type, vehicles are either:
- Container loaded for extra protection, or
- Rolled on/rolled off (RoRo) for operable vehicles
In both cases, we use tailored positioning strategies to distribute weight evenly and avoid tilting or shifting during transport.
3. Advanced Lashing Equipment
We use industry-certified lashing materials such as:
- Soft, non-abrasive straps to avoid scratching
- Heavy-duty ratchets for firm hold
- Wheel chocks and tire blocks for immobilization
- Foam padding and covers for additional surface protection
Every car is lashed at multiple points (usually four or more) to ensure complete stability.
4. Custom Solutions for Vehicle Type
From luxury sedans to SUVs and classic cars, our team adjusts lashing strategies based on:
- Vehicle size & weight
- Ground clearance
- Wheel base and chassis design
We also provide special care for:

- Sports cars with performance suspensions
- Oversized pickups needing dual-point anchoring
