FLAT-RACK CONTAINERS
Definition
Flat-rack containers have no side walls and are available either with fixed or
collapsible end-walls. The flush folding collapsible flat-rack, the most ophisticated of its type, has end walls which fold flush with the base.
Use
Flat-racks are dedicated for the carriage of items which are heavy, bulky and those which are over height and/or over width. Their base is often designed to transport heavy material. Some 40’ flats are suitable to carry as much as 45 metric tons of cargo. The flat racks with collapsible ends also permit the transportation of over length cargo.
