Flat Rack Containers are designed for transporting oversized or irregularly shaped cargo that won’t fit inside a standard shipping container. They feature a strong, flat base with no side walls or roof, and include end panels for added support and stability. These containers are ideal for heavy-duty items such as machinery, boats, plant equipment, and vehicles.
A platform container is similar in construction but without any end panels—it’s essentially a reinforced container floor. Cargo is secured directly to the base using straps, making it suitable for especially large or heavy loads.
Some Flat Rack Containers come with collapsible end panels, allowing them to be folded down into a flat platform when needed. This versatility makes them useful in a variety of settings—for example, they are often used on farms as makeshift bridges for crossing small streams.
