Without side walls or a roof, these <a href=\"https:\/\/chs-containergroup.com\/us\/iso-830-shipping-container-types\/\">special-purpose ISO containers<\/a> allow loading from almost any angle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flat-rack containers are available in both 20ft and 40ft lengths, and in two types:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fixed flat-racks:<\/strong> Equipped with end walls that sink into recesses in the flat-rack floor when folded, allowing the flat-rack to be used as a platform.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Collapsible flat-racks:<\/strong> End walls that can be folded down for cost-effective empty transportation and space-saving storage, as several flat-racks can be stacked on top of each other.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Numerous lashing rings for load securing are installed in the floor, corner posts, and longitudinal beams. The flats can be equipped with stanchions for the transport of certain loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can you use flat-rack shipping containers for?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flat-rack containers are essential for transporting cargo that\u2019s too big to fit into a standard container. This can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Steel beams, pipes, and similar components<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Heavy equipment and machinery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mechanical and plant engineering equipment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Oversized construction materials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As ISO containers, flat-racks are standardized for global use and can be easily integrated into existing logistics chains. Both 20ft and 40ft flat-racks are approved for intermodal transport by ship, rail, and truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Popular Flat-Rack Shipping Containers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n<section
