20ft & 40ft Flat Rack Containers from BoxFlow

BoxFlow can source 20ft and 40ft flat rack containers for sale and hire across the UK, providing specialist solutions for transporting and handling heavy machinery, oversized equipment and industrial cargo that cannot be accommodated within standard shipping containers.

Unlike conventional enclosed containers, flat racks have an open-sided design with no fixed roof, allowing cargo to be loaded from above or from the sides. This makes them particularly suitable for machinery, construction equipment, generators, steel structures and other large or awkwardly shaped loads.

20ft Flat Rack Containers

20ft flat racks are commonly used for compact but heavy cargo, including industrial machinery, generators, plant equipment and engineering components. Their shorter length can make them a practical choice where cargo dimensions and handling requirements permit.

40ft Flat Rack Containers

40ft flat racks provide additional loading length for larger equipment, long steel structures, industrial components and oversized machinery. They are frequently used for project cargo and specialist transport operations where conventional containers are unsuitable.

Flat Rack Container Sales & Hire

BoxFlow can assist with sourcing fixed-end and collapsible flat rack containers, subject to availability. Whether you require a container for a one-off project, ongoing industrial use or specialist cargo transport, our team can help identify suitable options.

We can also assist with UK transport and delivery arrangements, including specialist lifting and handling requirements where necessary.

Contact BoxFlow with your required container size, intended application and delivery location for a tailored quotation.
