Flat rack containers - also known as flatrack containers or flat track containers - are designed for cargo that simply won’t fit inside a standard enclosed unit. With open sides, no sidewalls, and fixed or collapsible end walls, they make loading and securing oversized or awkwardly shaped goods straightforward. Willbox offers flat rack containers for hire or purchase in 20ft and 40ft sizes, with both fixed-end and collapsible-end options available to suit your specific requirements.
Flat rack containers are a type of specialised shipping container with open sides and no roof, making them suitable for transporting goods that exceed the dimensions of a standard enclosed container. They are available in two configurations: collapsible-end flatracks, where the end walls fold down when not in use to save space in storage and transit, and fixed-end (non-collapsible) flatracks, which offer greater structural rigidity for tougher conditions.
Both types feature built-in forklift pockets for easy on-site handling, and robust lashing devices rated to 5,000 kg on the top and bottom longitudinal rails and corner posts. Collapsible units can be interlocked in stacks of up to 7, fitting within the footprint of a single standard container - an efficient solution when empty units need to be stored or returned.
Flat rack containers are widely used across construction, mining, energy, aerospace, oiland gas, automotive, defence, and events industries. Willbox can advise on the most appropriate specification for your cargo requirements.
