Features of Flatrack containers
One of the defining features of Flatrack is its non-standard design of the transportation container. Although it looks like a regular universal container, it differs in that it has an incomplete upper frame. To strengthen the structure, removable longitudinal beams are used instead of conventional stiffeners. The container has four upper and lower fittings in the corners, as well as fork holes and pick-up devices, which greatly facilitate transportation by any type of transport. Typically, rail, road or sea transport is used to transport a container with cargo. The bottom consists of several layers of plywood, which ensures the strength and reliability of the container for storing cargo.
Types of Flatrack containers
Containers are divided according to the features of the platform module:
- Collapsible Ends FlatRack (FlatRack with folding ends) has extended functionality, as its end walls can be easily folded. This allows for efficient loading and unloading of goods with maximum convenience and speed.
- Fixed Ends FlatRack has fixed side walls, which increases the degree of rigidity of fixing the load on the platform. This helps to ensure stability during transportation.
- Platform has no end or side walls. It is usually used for storing goods where the main need is spatial accessibility for easy loading and unloading.
The Flatrack container is suitable for:
- Transportation of any equipment;
- Transportation of specialized industrial and construction equipment;
- Transportation of bulky goods that are larger than a standard 20-foot container.
