The unique design of the flat rack container makes it an irreplaceable choice for heavy-lift transport. Its core features directly determine its suitability for cargo. First, the flat rack container's floor is significantly thicker than that of ordinary containers, typically reaching 60 cm. This thickened design significantly increases its load capacity, making it easily suitable for carrying overweight cargo such as construction machinery and heavy equipment, while addressing the problem of the floor's deformation often seen in ordinary containers.

Second, the flat rack container lacks a roof or side walls. This design completely breaks the dimensional limitations of traditional containers and can accommodate cargo that is extremely high (generally no more than 4 meters) and extremely wide. For example, large transformers and wind turbine blades, which are too large to fit in ordinary containers due to their size, can be safely transported using a flat rack container. Furthermore, the lack of side walls makes loading and unloading easier, allowing for lifting from the side or top, making it particularly suitable for irregularly shaped cargo such as oversized wooden boxes and grab buckets.

However, flat rack containers are not universal containers. Their lack of airtightness and waterproofness requires special consideration. They cannot transport moisture-sensitive goods, such as paper products and precision electronic equipment. Such goods require additional waterproof packaging or tarpaulin. Furthermore, the side beams, corner posts, and floor of flat rack containers are densely packed with tie-down rings. These rings are crucial for securing cargo, and can be used with tools like wire ropes and lashings to securely secure the cargo and prevent it from shifting during transportation.

These features make the list of suitable cargo for flat rack containers quite clear: construction machinery (such as excavators and loaders), large vehicles (such as construction trucks and small yachts), and metal products (such as coiled steel and tanks). These goods, often heavy and shaped, are difficult to transport using standard containers. The thick floor, lack of a roof, and ease of reinforcement of flat rack containers perfectly match these requirements. While retaining these core features, CIMC Equilink-Flat Rack Container has optimized the tie ring layout and bottom plate anti-slip performance, making the transportation of heavy-duty cargo safer and more efficient.
