    Product Description

    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. For even larger loads, the 45′ flat rack container offers extended capacity, making it a preferred choice for industries requiring extra space.

    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. The 45′ flat rack shipping container for sale is a great investment for businesses that frequently transport irregularly shaped cargo, providing a sturdy and reliable solution.

    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.

    Options A 45Ft Flat Rack Shipping Container

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

    • new containers are great because they’re in pristine condition and boast the highest quality;
    • 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.

    45ft Flat Rack Shipping Container Dimensions And Weight

    Now, let’s talk numbers. The 45ft flat rack container dimensions are approximately 45 feet in length (the equivalent of about seven average-sized cars lined up bumper-to-bumper), 7.8 feet in width, and 7.9 feet in height. These 45 flat rack dimensions provide additional space compared to standard 40′ containers, making them ideal for larger cargo shipments. 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.

    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.
