If you’ve ever had to ship oversized cargo, you know it’s not easy. But what if we told you there’s a solution that’s as efficient as it is versatile? Say hello to the 45ft flat rack shipping container.
The 45′ flat rack container is no ordinary shipping container. It’s an open-top, side-less wonder designed to handle out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo — items too large or oddly shaped to fit into the confines of standard 20-foot or 40-foot shipping containers.
But don’t be fooled by such an open design. Built from solid Corten steel — known for its toughness — these containers withstand the harshest conditions. They’re like all-terrain vehicles, ideal for transporting heavy-duty items, including trucks, construction equipment, and other oversized loads.
Keep in mind that because the 45ft flat rack containers have no side walls or roofs, your cargo may be exposed to the elements. But their design is what allows for the transportation of wider and taller cargo that wouldn’t fit in standard closed containers. It’s all about trade-offs, and in this case, the benefits far outweigh the risks.

A flat rack is used to transport or store cargo that has unique dimensions. There are a variety of products that need to be shipped and are classified as atypical loads. Trucks, boats, and equipment parts are examples of goods that must be shipped in their entirety to their destination.
From buying the right container to preparing your site for delivery, we’ll help you avoid the frustrations and unknowns when buying a container.
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 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 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.
The 45′ flat rack container offers a versatile solution for cargo that may be oversized or unconventional in shape. Its open design allows for easy loading and unloading from the sides, making it suitable for various cargo types.
