Flat racks, also known as platform containers, are a specialised type of shipping container we stock at Container Sales (UK) Ltd. If you are required to transport oversized or irregularly shaped cargo that cannot fit into standard containers, this is the solution!
Our flat rack containers provide a versatile and secure solution for shipping goods that require an open and unobstructed space.
Flat rack containers have a flat and open structure, which consists of a reinforced base and collapsible or end walls. This design allows for easy loading and unloading of cargo from the sides or the top.
If your business has the requirement to carry items such as heavy machinery, vehicles, construction equipment, or large pipes that cannot be accommodated by traditional containers then, as experts in our industry, we recommend this container type.
These containers also offer flexibility when it comes to cargo dimensions and configurations. The collapsible end walls can be folded down and the units nested when not in use, which helps to minimise storage space requirements.
This feature is especially beneficial for return trips or when the container needs to be transported empty. Fixed end walls provide additional strength and security for securing heavy or oversized cargo during transportation.
The open structure of flat racks allows for easy access to the cargo during loading and unloading processes and simplifies the handling of bulky or heavy items and reduces the need for additional equipment or disassembly.
It also provides flexibility in terms of securing the cargo using straps, chains, or other securing mechanisms, ensuring safe transportation.
