20-foot Flat Rack Shipping Container Cargo-worthy - American Portable Storage

Loading flat-rack shipping containers

The open sides can make loading cargo such as piping and timber very efficient. With their open tops, flat-rack containers allow cargo to be top-loaded by crane, which can be faster and more efficient. Flat-rack containers can also support extremely heavy loads of up to around 45,000 lbs.

This flexible loading can require less specialized handling equipment and less time, resulting in flat-rack containers being more cost-effective for shipping OOG cargo.

Flat-rack containers are versatile and can accommodate a broad range of cargo sizes, shapes, and weights.

Common cargo shipped with flat-rack containers:

Heavy machinery, such as bulldozers, excavators, and cranes

Boats and marine vehicles

Timber and pipes

Cars, trucks, and buses

Boilers and power generators

Jet or turboprop engines
