What is a 20ft Flat Rack Container Used For?

A 20ft flat rack container is the solution for transporting large, heavy, or awkwardly shaped items that won’t fit inside standard containers. With no side walls and collapsible end frames, these containers offer unbeatable flexibility for top and side loading.

Common cargo includes industrial machinery, steel structures, vehicles, pipes, and turbine parts. Flat racks are also used for temporary platforms, bridges, and outdoor racking.

Collapsible vs Fixed-End Flat Racks

Most flat rack units feature collapsible end walls that fold flat when not in use – ideal for saving storage space and reducing shipping costs on empty returns. While less common today, fixed-end units offer extra strength and durability for highly heavy-duty use.
