    Product Description

    Sturdy, solid 20ft flat rack containers from Pelican Containers, made from Corten steel, can handle heavy loads, including oversized cargo, and allow for top and side loading. The 20′ flat rack provides the container with versatility and durability for safe and efficient transportation of heavy or oversized cargo.

    20 flat rack containers don’t have a roof or sides, which makes it effortless to handle large cargo with a loading winch or crane. You never have to worry about cargo being too tall or wide — 20′ flat rack containers can accommodate more than the actual 20 flat rack dimensions suggest.

    Our 20-foot flat rack shipping containers are quality-tested to make sure they perform at their best. They are excellent for transporting non-standard goods without dimensional constraints. For instance, a flat rack container 20ft easily carries tractors, machinery, and construction equipment. With a base and walls constructed from solid Corten steel, these units are light yet as strong as traditional construction metal.

    20′ foot collapsible flat rack containers are also equipped with solid marine-grade timber floors, which keep your cargo from slipping during transport. The collapsible front and end walls allow you to stack multiple containers and fold them up when they’re not in use or while transporting them back. Such flexibility makes the 20ft platform container an excellent choice for optimizing space during return trips or when storing unused units.

    Each flat rack 20ft container also has multiple lashing points to secure your cargo and a high-security lockbox for added protection.

    How is this container delivered?

    Tilt Tray

    Tilt tray delivers a container off the back of the truck. Similar to a tow truck, the tray is mechanically lowered at an angle, and the container is slid off, with the truck moving forward at slow speed. This is the most common delivery method used for containers. Tilt trays are not suitable for sites with overhead power lines as the container height increases significantly when tilted.

    Side Loader

    Side loaders are used to transport our 20 foot and 40 foot shipping containers. This is the best delivery method for containers at sites that have limited space either in front or behind the area where the container is to be positioned. The container is unloaded between the two outrigger feet of the side loader, approximately half a metre from the side of the truck.

    Hiab Crane

    Hiab cranes lift containers from a mechanism located behind the truck’s cabin. This is used when there is limited space for a side loader or tilt tray. Using a crane means the container is easily positioned at an angle or up on a raised area. It can also be used to place containers over a fence or other obstacles.
