Types of Flat Rack Shipping Containers

Besides the different sizes, you also get two types of flat rack container: Collapsible and Non-collapsible. Let’s take a look at the difference between the two now.

Collapsible flat rack

As the name suggests, collapsible flat rack containers have detachable or foldable walls. This makes storing and transporting this container type convenient and cost-effective since they take up minimal space.

Did you know that four collapsible flat racks, when stacked on top of each other, take up the space of a single standard container?

This is especially helpful if you’re repositioning containers empty and don’t want to pay full price for vessel slots.

The only disadvantage of collapsible flat rack containers is that the absence of permanent walls makes them structurally weaker than non-collapsible containers.

Non-collapsible flat rack

Non-collapsible flat rack containers have fixed walls on their shorter ends. This makes them more structurally sound than collapsible flat racks. The only disadvantage of non-collapsible flat racks is that they take up a lot of space when not in use.

It’s time to weigh up the options and decide if collapsible or non-collapsible work best for your needs.

For Heavy, Bulky and Oversized Cargo

Our 20Ft flat rack containers are suitable for the safe intermodal transportation of oversized and bulky heavy cargo such as vehicles, large and heavy industrial machinery, drums, barrels, and large reels of steel pipes.

Designed with no roof and open sides, this robust intermodal equipment is made from corten steel, providing extra strength collapsible end walls and cross members. The flat rack enables for the easy loading of awkward and heavy equipment by crane and positioned so that the weight is distributed so that the centre of gravity isn’t too far off centre. Once loaded onto the heavy-duty timber floor, the cargo can be tightly secured by using lashing bars that are fixed to the floor and corner posts.

The flat racks are equipped with a standard built-in interlocking system, so when empty, they can be stacked and bundled together to help save on-site storage space and costs. Interlocked, these units can also be shipped stacked and transported as a single cargo container, optimizing back hauling strategy and keeping costs to a minimum.
