Frequently asked questions
Which loads suit a 40ft flat rack container?
Long, wide, heavy, or oddly shaped loads that a closed box can't take, such as machinery, boats, pipe, and steelwork, ride on a base with two end walls. The 40ft length suits longer oversized cargo and project transport.
How does a flat rack differ from a standard container?
A flat rack has no roof and no side walls, just a reinforced floor with collapsible or fixed end walls. You load from the top or sides, which lets it carry what a standard container can't enclose.
What are its dimensions, and what loads can it take?
The 40ft by 8ft footprint sits on a heavy-duty base built for concentrated point loads. Cargo may go beyond the width and height of a closed box, within applicable road and transport rules.
What condition are the flat racks in?
This unit is used and graded cargo-worthy (inspected fit to carry cargo). Expect normal surface wear, while the base and end walls are structurally sound. Every unit is checked before delivery, and new flat racks may also be available if you need one.
How does a 40ft flat rack get delivered?
A tilt-bed (roll-off) truck lets it slide off at ground level, which usually means no crane or forklift to place it. Because a 40ft unit needs room to maneuver, we check site access first, and a heavy or wide load may need a crane.
