Are the dimensions and load capacity of the container exactly as stated on this page?
The philosophy of making containers has been to integrate means to transport goods; But it should be kept in mind that due to the existence of various manufacturers, the dimensions of the container may differ by a few centimeters, which of course is not very important. The maximum weight (tonnage) of loading the container is also determined based on the CSC Plate of the container. But in addition to the tonnage of the container, the ship and the line in which the container is to be transported should be considered. For example, when shipping to Canada, there are container tonnage restrictions, which will result in fines.

Flat Rack Container
On this page, we want to talk about the flat rack container, which is usually used to transport cargo with non-standard sizes, and also check the technical specifications and standard dimensions of the flat rack container.
As you know, a standard container is a cubic, rectangular metal device that is usually made of steel and iron sheets and has standard dimensions of 20-ft and 40-ft, which is used in global transportation (road, rail, and sea transportation). There are different types of containers; Because they have various uses; Such as refrigerated container, tanker container, high height container, open top container, etc., but the problem is that not all cargo can be placed in those standard cubic containers. There are some bars that do not have standard sizes. For this, we need a flat rack container.
A flat rack (RF) container is a container that has a floor surface and two walls in front and back; That is, they have no roof and longitudinal walls (side walls). Flat rack container floor with top loading side is usually composed of a steel chassis and wooden cover. The two steel walls in the front and back of the container can be fixed or movable (retractable).
Since the Flat Rack Container has no roof and side walls, the goods are loaded from both sides or from above and they are connected by whip rings. In fact, the strength of the front and rear walls makes it possible to record the load and comply with safety requirements.
A few lashing rings are embedded in the surrounding rails, corners and floor to secure the cargo to them. Some flat rack containers are equipped with lashing winches whose chains have a capacity of 2 metric tons. Of course, after loading, the longitudinal parts and the roof of the container are covered by canvas tents.
Flat Rack (FR) containers are produced in 20 feet and 40 feet sizes. In some 20-foot flat rack containers, there are designated places to lift the container by a forklift. Due to the high resistance of the flak rock (FR) container floor, it can withstand loads of up to 30 tons in the 20-foot model and up to 40 tons in the 40-foot model.
Flat Rack containers, like other types of containers, can play a role in road, rail and sea transportation and be moved.
Application of flat rack container
As mentioned, the flat rack container is used to carry loads that do not have standard dimensions. In general, it can be said that a flat rack (FR) container is used for the following items: (such as steel, pipes, timber, etc.)
- Excessively heavy and bulky shipments
- Cargoes that are too high and too wide
Therefore, they are used for transporting heavy, long, dumb or non-standard goods; (such as steel, pipes, timber, etc.) and its most important advantage is the simplicity of loading and unloading these types of goods. Of course, it should be possible to stack these containers. If these types of containers are placed properly, they stack well and as a result, a large volume of goods can be transported by this type of container.
In general, it can be said that some of the applications of flat rack containers are:
- Transportation of cars: transportation of large and heavy cars
- Transporting heavy equipment: such as lifting devices or construction equipment or large pulleys
- Transporting long goods: Due to their open side arms, they can transport long goods.
Flat rack container types
As mentioned, flat rack containers have two walls at the front and back, which can be fixed or movable. Accordingly, flat rack containers can be divided into the following two types:
- Flat rack container with fixed walls (Non-Collapsible)
- Flat rack container with collapsible walls
The Kanitner flat rack folding (retractable) has hinged walls that can be folded for easy loading and unloading. Those walls are folded on the bottom of the container. But the fixed flat rack container has strong walls that do not bend.
Transporting car with flat rack container (FR)
Another use of flat rock container in some ports (such as Astara port in Iran) is car transportation. In fact, in short routes between two ports, cars can be moved with flat rack containers; Such as moving cars between Astara port in Iran and Aktau port in Kazakhstan. In this way, the capacity of the country’s transit movements can be increased. Because it is easier to load and unload cars with these types of containers.
Of course, this work can also be done by land and rail transport; But transporting the car by ship is cost-effective and the goods are sent sooner.
The price of flat rack container
Like any other product, a single price cannot be announced for the purchase of Flat Rock (FR) containers; Because the conditions of each container are different and there are various parameters that affect the price of a flat rack container; such as brand, year of production, body material, manufacturing company, etc.
Another parameter that affects the flat rack container price is the currency price; Because usually these containers are imported and are bought and sold at the price of dollars or other world currencies. Therefore, you should buy containers based on your budget; But if you are looking for a cheaper purchase, you can also use a second-hand flat rack container.
Factors affecting the price of used flat rack containers
As you know, the price of used goods is usually lower than new goods. So, the price of a used flat rack container is lower than a new container. Of course, being a second-hand container does not always mean its price is low. If the purchase is made in an unprincipled manner, sometimes the price of a second-hand flat rack container may cost you as much as a new container.
So, before getting acquainted with the principles of buying second-hand containers, you should be familiar with the various factors affecting their prices. As mentioned, many parameters affect the price of second-hand flat rack (FR) containers, the most important of which are the following:
- Production Year
- Manufacturer
- Dimensions and size
- Container health
- Container body material
- exchange rate
- etc
Another important point is that in order to buy a Flat Rack container, you must visit it in person and check the health of its body and documents in order to make a good purchase. All in all, we suggest that you contact the experts of Salian Container and get more detailed information about the price and terms of sale of second-hand flat rack containers.
