Flat Rack & Bolster Containers belong to the platform style family of containers that are used for transporting oversized, oddly shaped and awkwardly handled cargo such as industrial machinery & equipment, construction materials and commercial vehicles. They have also been known to be repurposed as makeshift bridges on properties in rural Australia. Flat Racks and Bolster Containers generally have a low profile and small footprint which saves quite a lot of space when not in use compared to standard shipping containers.
Flack Racks & Bolsters come in either 20ft or 40ft with a steel or wooden deck and in a variety of designs and configurations depending on their intended purpose.
Fixed End Wall Flat Racks come with two walls at either end of the container which allow for increased load capacity and the ability to secure cargo.

Flat Racks & Bolster Gallery

Collapsible End Wall Flat Racks come with two walls at either end of the container that can be collapsed onto the container either on top or flush with the deck making them useful for a variety of purposes and while continuing to minimise the space required for storage when not in use. Bolster Containers are platforms which have no end walls reducing the height and weight of the container whilst maintaining high load capacity.
