This 40 ft flat rack shipping container is designed for cargo that cannot be loaded into a conventional enclosed container. The unit has no side walls, allowing oversized or heavy loads to be placed from the sides.
The ends can be either fixed or collapsible. The collapsible design allows empty containers to be stacked vertically, reducing storage space requirements.
Lashing rings are located in the side rails, floors, and corner posts to allow cargo to be secured and tied down.
The container is plated for shipping and stacking when loaded. Refer to the plate for full weight and stacking specifications.
The flooring is 28mm marine plywood. Marine plywood is manufactured with water-resistant adhesives and resists delamination in humid conditions.
Units are available with or without forklift pockets.
