Unlike standard enclosed containers, this unit features fold-down end walls with no fixed side walls or roof, making it ideal for machinery, vehicles, steel pipes, construction equipment and project cargo that cannot fit into conventional containers.

Manufactured from high-strength Corten steel with reinforced crossmembers and heavy-duty flooring, the 40ft flat rack container offers exceptional load-bearing capacity and long-term durability. When empty, the collapsible end walls allow multiple units to be stacked and bundled, reducing backhaul and storage costs.

Industrial Containers supplies and delivers flat rack containers nationwide, including Gauteng, Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Free State, North West and Northern Cape.
