A flat rack container has no roof and only two sides, making it simple to load heavy or large things from the top or sides. These containers are typically 20 to 40 feet long and constructed of robust, durable steel. Some may be folded for convenient storage, while others have alternative walls that can be added as needed.
A flat rack container is a shipping container with two solid end walls but no sidewalls or roof. Flat rack shipping containers are specially designed to convey enormous, heavy, and strangely shaped cargo that does not fit into regular containers.
This type of equipment is handled by Overheight Frames.
