  1. #1
    Hi All,

    I thought since Austorient Motorsport Logistics advertise on this forum, it was about time we started to
    share some of the interesting vehicles our team handle on a weekly basis...

    Hope you guys like the Sauber C9 which recently arrived back into Tassi after various race events in Europe , excuse the kegs in the back ground at the unpack depot ha ha !!.

    Cheers Deborah

    Yes, it ran at the Island Classic and spun on the warmup lap.

    I've met Deb. My guess is chewing gum and nails.

    Luckily, she gets the guys to do it :tilt:

    Hi dkabab,

    I'll post some pictures of loaded vehicles tomorrow if your interested , there NOT exciting pics, however we roll in the vehicle and position, use timber chocks nailed to the container floor, in front , rear and side of each wheel to ensure no movement forward or back , then use brown lines / lashes , (same used on aircrafts to secure pallets) , through each wheel and secure to each 4 corner points of the container walls to hold the vehicle down. I'll dig out a few vehicles loaded on aircraft pallets as well .

    However ferrarifixer is sooo right, (how are you by the way ?) I supervise as one doesn't want to break a nail !!

    Cheers Deb

    That took convincing! Wanted me to remove the kegs from the other shots...

    I think she needs to hire tdc911 or 98octane whenever they load/unload awesome cars so they can report back here with awesome photos. Thoughts?
