Although flat rack containers are primarily meant for overwidth (width greater than 2.35m or 7'8") and heavyweight cargo, both overwidth and overheight cargo can be loaded on flat rack containers due to its open construction. The specially reinforced bottom construction can sustain the high pressure of heavyweight cargo. Numerous high load capacity lashing rings are installed on the corner posts, top-side rails and bottom-side rails for lashing and bracing of the cargo. Commodities commonly shipped in the flat rack container include machinery, industrial boilers, tractors, parts packed in cases, steel tubes, steel pipes, steel bars and cables. |

Open top containers are especially suitable for transporting overheight cargo, i.e. cargo taller than 2.54m (8'5"). They are available in two sizes: 20' and 40'. Cargo can be loaded by crane from the top-side. Overheight cargo can also be loaded from the door-side since the door header can be swung open.
