Frequently asked questions
What is a 40ft flat rack container best used for?
With just a base and two end walls, it carries long, wide, heavy, or oddly shaped loads a closed box cannot take, such as machinery, boats, pipe, and steelwork. The 40ft length suits longer oversized cargo and project transport.
How is a flat rack different from a standard container?
It has no roof and no side walls, only a reinforced floor with collapsible or fixed end walls, so cargo loads from the top or sides. That open design carries loads a standard container cannot enclose.
What size is it and what can it carry?
It is 40ft long and 8ft wide on a heavy-duty base built for concentrated point loads. Cargo can exceed the width and height limits of a closed box, within applicable road and transport rules.
What condition are these flat racks?
We supply new and used flat racks; used units are cargo-worthy with surface wear but a structurally sound base and end walls. Every unit is inspected and graded before delivery.
How is a 40ft flat rack delivered?
A tilt-bed (roll-off) truck slides it off at ground level, so no crane or forklift is usually needed to place it. A 40ft unit needs room to maneuver, so we check site access first; a heavy or wide load may need a crane.
