What Is a Flat Rack Container?

A flat rack container is a specialized shipping container with a reinforced steel floor platform and two solid end walls, but without side walls or a roof[citation:1][citation:5]. This open design allows for loading from the top or sides using cranes or forklifts[citation:2][citation:3]. Furthermore, the end walls can be fixed or collapsible, depending on the model[citation:9][citation:11].

Flat racks are ideal for out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo that exceeds standard container dimensions. Common uses include transporting construction machinery, industrial equipment, large pipes, steel coils, and even boats[citation:4][citation:7][citation:12].

20ft Flat Rack Container: Compact and Maneuverable

Our 20ft flat rack container is perfect for medium-sized oversized cargo. Specifically, it offers a payload capacity of approximately 30,000 kg (66,000 lbs) and cubic capacity of around 32.7 m³[citation:2][citation:5]. With an internal length of about 19.4 feet, this size fits easily into tight spaces while still accommodating heavy loads.

This container is particularly popular for transporting smaller machinery, agricultural equipment, and construction materials. Moreover, collapsible versions allow for space-saving storage when empty[citation:8].

40ft Flat Rack Container: Maximum Capacity

For larger projects, our 40ft flat rack container provides exceptional capacity. In fact, it offers a payload of up to 40,000 kg (88,200 lbs) and a cubic capacity of around 62.2 m³[citation:2][citation:5]. With an internal length of approximately 39.8 feet, this size is the preferred choice for transporting heavy equipment and large industrial components.

Furthermore, high cube versions are available for extra height clearance[citation:6]. All our flat rack containers feature numerous lashing points for secure cargo fastening during transit[citation:3][citation:7].

Fixed vs. Collapsible Flat Racks

We offer two main types of flat rack containers to meet your needs:

Fixed-End Flat Racks: These containers have sturdy, non-folding end walls. They provide maximum structural stability and are ideal for heavy, dense loads that require extra support[citation:11].

Collapsible Flat Racks: These feature foldable end walls. This allows for cost-effective empty transport and space-saving storage, as several units can be stacked together[citation:1][citation:9].
