Transporting or storing heavy, oversized cargo presents unique challenges. But with our 40ft flat rack containers available for hire in Bristol, those challenges become opportunities. Engineered to handle extreme loads and built to withstand the rigours of international shipping, these containers provide unmatched versatility and cost-effective solutions for businesses across the South West.
Why Flat Racks Are the Ideal Choice:
- Maximise Your Payload: Unlike standard containers, flat racks are designed for heavy-duty applications. Their robust construction and high payload capacity make them ideal for transporting massive machinery, bulky construction materials, and other oversized items that won't fit in traditional containers.
- Simplify Loading and Unloading: With collapsible ends on both sides, flat racks offer unparalleled access for loading and unloading your cargo. This makes them perfect for handling items with unusual dimensions or those requiring specialised equipment.
- Optimise Shipping Costs: Their efficient design and ability to be stacked when empty help minimise transportation costs, making them a budget-friendly option for businesses of all sizes.
- Streamline Temporary Storage: Do you need a secure, weather-resistant storage solution for your oversized cargo? Flat racks provide ample space and protection from the elements, serving as your site's ideal temporary storage facility.
Versatility Beyond Transport:
While flat racks are primarily used for shipping, their unique design opens up a world of possibilities beyond transport. Their strength, durability, and modularity make them perfect for creating:
- Temporary Bridges: Quickly and easily construct sturdy bridges for construction projects, events, or emergencies.
- Staging Platforms: Create elevated workspaces for construction crews, equipment operators, or event organisers.
- Secure Storage Units: Utilise them as robust, weather-resistant storage containers for oversized materials and equipment.
