Flat rack containers consist of a container floor with collapsible or fixed end walls but no side walls or roof. This open structure allows cargo to overhang the sides and ends of the container, making flat racks the correct solution for wide machinery, large vehicles, boat hulls, and industrial equipment that exceeds standard container width or length.
