45′ Flat Rack Container
45ft Flat Rack Containers for Sale
These are used to carry oversized cargo and can be stacked when not in use.
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.
Looking for a resilient 45ft flat rack container for sale? Trust no one but Pelican Containers. As a leading supplier, we offer both new and used containers for sale, all made from solid Corten steel. We don’t just sell containers — our solutions match your unique needs.

If you buy a 45 flat rack container, you have two options: new or used.

- on the other hand, used containers can be more affordable and save you some money.
The good news? Pelican Containers offers both, so you can choose a 45ft flat rack for sale based on your budget and needs. Also, rest assured that these containers have a surprisingly long shelf life — a great investment for your business.
If you only need a 45ft flat rack shipping container temporarily, why not hire one? Pelican Containers also offers rental services, so you can hire a high-quality container for as long as you need it. It’s the convenient, cost-effective solution you’ve been looking for.
The hiring process is as smooth as butter. Just open our website, fill out the request form, and one of our friendly specialists will get back to you faster than you can say “oversized cargo”.
Now, let’s talk numbers.

Its weight can vary depending on the model. However, a 45ft flat rack container is impressively light for its size. But be sure, it’s designed to handle heavy loads with ease.

DetailedHow is this container delivered?
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.
