Flat rack containers have a wide range of practical applications, encompassing the entire transport chain for heavy cargo. Their efficiency advantages are particularly prominent in ports, engineering, and manufacturing. At ports, 20' and 40' FR containers are the primary carriers for transshipping large equipment. Terminals often use 40' FR containers to transport gantry crane parts and container spreaders. These cargoes are too high and wide to fit in standard containers. The flat rack container's roofless design allows for seamless loading and transport, reducing transit time from warehouse to ship.

The engineering and construction sector is also highly reliant on flat rack containers. In new energy projects like wind power and photovoltaics, extra-long components like wind turbine blades and photovoltaic racks must be transported from production bases to construction sites. The long load-bearing surface of the 40' FR container perfectly accommodates the blade length, and cross-lashing ensures stability during transportation. For construction machinery (such as excavators and bulldozers), the thick floor of a flat rack container can support the weight of the equipment. Its unobstructed sides facilitate direct crane loading, reducing labor costs during loading and unloading compared to traditional trailers.

Flat rack containers are also essential for transporting large equipment in the manufacturing industry. Heavy machine tools and large pressure vessels often face difficulties securing them during factory transportation due to their irregular shapes. The multiple tie-ring design of a flat rack container secures the cargo from multiple directions and, combined with sleepers, distributes the pressure, preventing damage during long-distance transport. For example, the automotive industry often chooses 20' FR for transporting stamping equipment. Its flexible size is suitable for short-distance transfers between factories and ports, while also meeting the width restrictions of road transport.

Compared to other transportation methods, the efficiency advantage of flat rack containers lies in their "integrated" transport: once loaded into a flat rack container, the cargo can be directly transported by various modes, including road, rail, and sea, eliminating the need for repeated loading and unloading, significantly reducing the risk of damage and transshipment costs. This door-to-door transport capability makes the Flat Rack Container a critical link connecting production, warehousing, and construction. CIMC Equilink's Flat Rack Container, with its multi-scenario design, provides efficient solutions for heavy-lift transport across various industries, helping to improve overall transportation efficiency.
