2. Flat Rack Container 20 and 40 feet:

Flat rack containers are designed for loads with irregular edges, with dimensions that extend beyond internal measures of dry container. They come in three different models: with fixed front panels, without front panels, and folding front panels. Thelatter can vary in their methods of lifting and bending their front panels through the use of special springs and locking devices. The advantage of containerized cargo flat rack lies primarily in the use of only one lashing and also speed loading and unloading of goods.

4. Platforms Container (Plats):
Platforms are used principally for oversized and very heavy cargoes. Platforms consist solely of a floor structure with extremely high loading capacity; they have no side or end walls. This high loading capacity makes it possible to concentrate heavy weights on small areas. A platform consists of a steel frame and a wooden floor structure.Platforms are available in 20' and 40' sizes. 40' platforms have a gooseneck tunnel at each end. Lashing rings, to which the cargo may be secured, are installed in the side rails. The lashing rings may take loads of up to 3.000 kg.

Platform: steel frame with softwood floor, 20' long and 1' 1 1/4" high |
