Product Description
The 40ft flat rack container from Pelican Containers is your godsend if you need a solution that can handle the heaviest of loads and the bulkiest of items — the stuff that other containers shy away from.
Our container flat rack 40 feet model is specifically designed for versatility and heavy-duty applications. Imagine a container that can be loaded from the top and the sides, one that’s made from solid Corten steel, famous for its sturdy corrosion resistance, and can transport weighty loads. That’s what you get with the 40-foot flat rack container. It’s perfect for carrying items like trucks, construction equipment, or other oversized cargo. A 40′ flat rack also has hinged front and back panels that fold down to create a flat base for your equipment.
One great feature of this container type is how effortless loading becomes. The 40′ flat rack provides exceptional accessibility from multiple angles, making it ideal for awkwardly shaped cargo. No side walls or roof means you can pack in cargo that’s wider and taller than what standard closed containers can handle. However, because it’s open, your cargo could be exposed to sun, rain, or wind.
But no need to worry, your cargo’s safety is guaranteed. The 40-foot collapsible flat rack container has loads of lashing points and a high-security lockbox to keep everything secure, as well as a solid marine-grade timber floor, which provides a rock-solid foundation for your items.

What is A Flat Rack Shipping Containers? - Pelican Containers
A flat rack is used to transport or store cargo that has unique dimensions. There are a variety of products that need to be shipped and are classified as atypical loads. Trucks, boats, and equipment parts are examples of goods that must be shipped in their entirety to their destination.

How is this container delivered?
Tilt Tray
The tilt tray delivers a container off the back of the truck. Similar to a tow truck, the tray is mechanically lowered at an angle, and the container is slid off, with the truck moving forward at a slow speed. This is the most common delivery method used for containers. Tilt trays are not suitable for sites with overhead power lines, as the container height increases significantly when tilted.
Side Loader
Side loaders are used to transport our 20-foot and 40-foot shipping containers. This is the best delivery method for containers at sites that have limited space either in front or behind the area where the container is to be positioned. The container is unloaded between the two outrigger feet of the side loader, approximately half a metre from the side of the truck.
Hiab Crane
Hiab cranes lift containers from a mechanism located behind the truck’s cabin. This is used when there is limited space for a side loader or tilt tray. Using a crane means the container is easily positioned at an angle or up on a raised area. It can also be used to place containers over a fence or other obstacles.
