What is a flat rack container

Flat Rack container is a special type of shipping container designed for transporting cargo that does not fit into standard closed containers due to its dimensions or unusual shape. Typically, these are containers with a solid floor and folding or removable side walls, which greatly facilitate the handling of atypical or excessively heavy goods. The side walls can be easily folded down or removed, allowing cargo to be loaded and unloaded not only from the side, but also from above.

What is a flat rack container suitable for

Flat Rack containers are an ideal choice wherever it is necessary to transport goods that exceed the standard dimensions of ordinary containers – for example, machines, building materials, pipes, vehicles, but also heavy steel sheets or structural parts with an unusual shape. The transport of heavy sheets and bulky metal parts is one of the most common uses of this type of container. Thanks to the open sides and robust construction, goods can be easily loaded and unloaded with a crane or forklift.

Who will use flat rack containers

Flat Rack containers will be especially appreciated by companies in the field of mechanical engineering, construction, energy, manufacturers of large metal parts, as well as logistics companies that regularly deal with the transport of oversized or heavy shipments. This container is also suitable for exporters and importers of non-standard equipment, construction machinery, pipes or parts of technological units. It can be used for transport by road, rail, as well as within maritime transport.

Advantages of a flat rack container when transporting heavy sheets and non-standard shapes

• Easy handling: Hinged or removable side walls greatly facilitate loading and unloading. The load can be safely secured and adjusted exactly to the dimensions of the goods.
• Robustness and load capacity: Flat Rack containers are designed for high load capacity – a 20′ flat rack can typically carry over 30 tons, a 40′ flat rack up to around 40 tons. They are therefore ideal for heavy and bulky steel sheets or machine parts.
• Flexibility of use: The possibility of transporting not only classic heavy sheets, but also complex parts that could not be safely transported in a closed container.
• Safety during transport: Thanks to the solid posts and the possibility of securing the load, stability is ensured even when transporting heavy and non-standard objects.

How to use a flat rack for transporting heavy sheets and atypical parts

For the transport of heavy sheets, we recommend distributing the sheets evenly over the entire area of the container and securing them well against movement, for example using tie-down straps, wedges or special fasteners. For sheets with an unusual shape, the variability of the container can be used and the side panels can be left folded down or completely removed – this creates a completely open platform suitable for crane handling.

For oversized metal structures or engineering units, it is also possible to use a combination of flat rack containers for larger lengths or volumes. Some models also allow stacking multiple containers on top of each other, which is advantageous when storing or transporting empty flat racks back.

Ideas for further use of flat rack containers

• Transport of construction machinery and equipment: An excavator, crane, bulldozer or other heavy equipment can be conveniently and safely attached to the flat rack.
• Transport of ship and aircraft parts: Thanks to the open construction, large parts of fuselages, wings or chassis can also be easily transported.
• Transport of large tanks, boilers and industrial equipment: Even bulky, heavy and complex equipment can be easily loaded and safely transported.
• Special custom transports: Flat Rack is the number one choice for any non-standard project where individual solutions are needed.
