Flat Rack Container | 20FT & 40FT Flat Rack Container for Sale

OLIPORTS provides professional Flat Rack Containers for heavy cargo, oversized cargo, and project cargo transportation. Our product range includes 20FT Flat Rack and 40FT Flat Rack Containers, meeting the demands of international shipping lines and high-standard logistics applications.

What is a flat rack?

Flat Rack Container is a specialized ISO-compliant container featuring a high-strength base with fixed or foldable end frames and open sides. It is designed for oversized, overheight, or overweight cargo that cannot be loaded into standard dry containers. Its design eliminates the standard container roof and side walls (or incorporates foldable panels), creating a robust open-frame platform that facilitates loading from the top or sides. Cargo is secured from all directions using specialized lashing equipment.

Flat Rack Container Types We Supply

20FT Flat Rack Container

The 20ft flat rack container is optimized for compact but heavy cargo with concentrated loads. It is widely used for machinery, industrial equipment, and dense project components.

40FT Flat Rack Container

The 40 flat rack container offers an extended loading platform and increased lashing flexibility, making it the preferred solution for long, oversized, or multi-piece project cargo.

Core Structure & Advantages

Abundant lashing points: Dense ground rings and lashing holes are integrated into the floor and frame perimeter, facilitating securement of cargoes of any shape using chains, lashing rods, and other tools.

Flexible end/side walls: End walls and side panels on most models are foldable or removable, enabling full platform loading and unloading.

Standardized corner fittings: Compliant with ISO standards, compatible with all container handling and transport equipment.

How to Choose Between 20FT and 40FT Flat Rack

Selecting the appropriate flat rack container requires comprehensive consideration of cargo dimensions, weight distribution, and lashing arrangements:

  • Short cargo with concentrated weight → Opt for a 20-foot flat rack
  • Long cargo, oversized items, or complex lashing → Opt for a 40-foot flat rack container

In project logistics and engineering transportation, the 40-foot flat rack is typically the standard solution preferred by shipping lines.

Flat Rack Container Price & Supply Capability

The flat rack container price depends on size (20FT or 40FT), structure type (fixed end or collapsible end), and market conditions. GLORYCRANE offers competitive pricing and stable supply for both standard and project-based requirements.
