What is a flat rack container used for?
Flat rack containers are designed for oversized, heavy cargo that cannot fit inside standard containers due to height or width constraints. Common uses include heavy machinery, steel coils, industrial equipment, construction materials, and project cargo.
Can the end walls be folded down?
Yes. Standard 40ft flat racks feature collapsible end walls that fold flat onto the platform. This reduces the container's volume for return shipping and empty storage, saving transport costs.
How is cargo secured on a flat rack?
Flat racks are equipped with lashing rings and lashing plates on the base frame and corner castings. Cargo is secured using chains, straps, or wires to prevent shifting during transport.
What documents are provided with a used flat rack?
Available inspection reports and CSC plate details can be confirmed before release. Quotation, proforma invoice and payment terms are provided with the official offer.
What is the difference between flat rack and standard container?
A flat rack container has no side walls or roof, with collapsible end walls. It is specifically designed for oversized, heavy or non-stackable cargo. A standard dry container has enclosed walls and roof for general cargo protection.
