What is container handling and why is it so important?
Container handling includes the entire process of loading and unloading vehicles in sea containers. At SCL, this goes far beyond simply moving a car: we ensure damage-free handling, thorough inspections, professional securing of vehicles, and seamless customs processing.
At SCL this includes:
- Professional loading and securing of vehicles
- Careful unloading of import containers
- Damage inspection, cleaning, and preparation for delivery
- Customs formalities and storage if required
- Access to our ICT platform and customer portal, providing real-time insight into the status of your vehicles, with clear reports and photos—all in one place
Where others rely on standard equipment and generic procedures, we focus on customization and care. Whether it’s a classic car, supercar or salvage vehicle—our approach is always tailored to the vehicle and its destination. That’s what makes us a vital link in the supply chain.
Why professional container handling matters
In the automotive sector, logistics is about more than just transport. Damage, delays, or careless handling can directly impact value and trust. Professional container processing ensures:
- Protection of high-value vehicles
- Smooth handover to the end customer
- Full supply chain visibility via our real-time portal with reports and photo documentation
That’s why more and more business clients choose SCL—we combine the capacity of a large logistics provider with the precision of a specialist. Every vehicle is treated as if it were our own.
