Flat rack container
A flat rack container is a type of shipping container with collapsible sides, allowing for the transport of oversized or irregularly shaped cargo that cannot fit into standard containers. These containers are ideal for heavy machinery, vehicles, and large equipment. The flat rack design provides flexibility in loading and unloading, as the cargo can be secured and supported from multiple angles.
