40ft Flat Rack Container Dimensions
Our 40ft flat rack containers are built for weighty lifting. With no side walls and sturdy end frames (either fixed or collapsible), these containers are perfect for transporting extra-wide or heavy items that just won't fit in a standard unit. Think industrial machinery, long steel pipes, construction beams, agricultural equipment, you name it. When your cargo breaks the mould, flat racks give you the flexibility and strength to move it safely.

Amazing Service
Jeremy and the Team were very easy to work with. extremely quick to respond to our needs and the overall delivery was spot on. The container supplied was brand new and exceptionally clean, ready for our items to be stored safely and securely.
What a refreshing experience
What a totally, refreshingly, brilliant company to deal with. They do what they say they will do at a time they say they will do it. Completely up front about everything: quality, cost, delivery etc. Nothing hidden. They accommodate the customer as far as humanly possible and their communications are spot on. I wish more companies were like this one.
20' x 8' Container Delivery
The service from this company was excellent. We were working to tight deadlines and Jeremy was incredibly prompt in his communication, from the initial quote to the follow up email, to check everything had been received. He phoned the haulier and arranged a delivery around our schedule and Andy (the driver), kept us informed, so we knew exactly when he was arriving.
A professional company, that I would recommend highly.
