20ft Flat Rack Containers – Limited Stock!

The 20ft Flat Rack Container is a specialized ISO shipping unit made to carry oversized and heavy-lift cargo that will not fit inside standard enclosed containers. Its sturdy steel construction and collapsible end walls form a versatile platform for out-of-gauge (OOG) freight, making it a key asset for project logistics and industrial shipping.

Key Features

• Collapsible End Walls: Flat-folding end walls let empty units stack and ship back efficiently, lowering repositioning costs.
• High Load Capacity: A heavy-duty steel frame supports a substantial maximum gross weight, suiting heavy machinery and industrial equipment.
• Integrated Lashing Points: Multiple lashing rings on the side rails, corner posts, and floor secure cargo firmly during sea, rail, or road transit.
• ISO Certified Construction: Built and certified to ISO standards for global interoperability and compliance in international shipping.
• Timber Deck Flooring: A durable softwood floor integrated into the steel frame provides a sturdy cargo base.
• Forklift Pockets: Fork pockets make empty containers easy to handle and position in depots or loading areas.

As supply chains handle more complex cargo, choosing the right intermodal equipment is essential for safe transport. The 20ft Flat Rack differs from standard dry vans or open-top units because it is purpose-built for cargo that exceeds standard dimensions or needs overhead loading. Unlike enclosed containers, it gives unobstructed access from the top and sides, which is necessary for loading large machinery, industrial components, or construction materials by crane.

The unit's strength comes from high-strength steel in the corner posts and side beams, designed to handle the dynamic stresses of ocean transport. With the end walls lowered, the container can take on a flatbed-like configuration, maximizing flexibility for varied project cargo. Stanchion sockets along the sides also allow vertical extensions to be added, giving extra support for securing tall or irregular loads when required.
