Some cargo types including wooden logs, steel pipes, machinery, and tires can be difficult to load into standard shipping containers. To counter that problem, Tradecorp now provides Flat Rack Containers, specialized shipping containers for transporting cargo with irregular shapes that would not fit in standard containers!
Compared to standard containers, Flat Rack Containers only have two walls on each end and no side walls or roof. Like their regular counterparts, these containers are available in the 20’ and 40’ variants to cater to the users’ business needs. In this regard, flat rack containers are divided into two variants - with fixed ends or collapsible ends to accommodate different cargo types.
In terms of construction, Flat Rack Containers also use Corten steel like in standard shipping containers to protect their cargo from damage. On average, these containers can load cargo weighing up to 68.810 lbs (for the 20’ variant) and 104,500 lbs (for the 40’ variant). With this weight capacity, businesses can rely on them to transport cargo with added weight.
Like other shipping containers, flat rack containers are equipped with corner castings and forklift pockets to facilitate transport by forklifts during business. Lashing rings are available to increase the containers’ security when users are transporting cargo using various transportation modes. With these features, users will have no problem using flat rack containers when transporting peculiar cargo types.
With their unique design and reliable performance, Flat Rack Containers are the solution for loading cargo with added flexibility and space. Contact us today via our quote form to find a suitable flat rack container and experience how they can benefit your business needs.
