Flat Rack Containers in Weston-super-Mare

Specialised Transport Solutions for Weston-super-Mare Businesses

Businesses in Weston-super-Mare and the surrounding Somerset area often require specialised transport and storage solutions for oversized or unconventional cargo. Standard shipping containers work perfectly for general freight, but what happens when your machinery, vehicles, or project materials simply don't fit? This is where flat rack containers provide an essential service. Acorn Containers supplies flat racks to businesses throughout the UK, including reliable delivery options to Weston-super-Mare, offering a robust and flexible way to move goods that exceed the dimensions of enclosed containers.

Understanding Flat Rack Containers

Flat racks are a specific type of shipping container designed without fixed side walls. They feature a solid base floor and end walls, which can be either fixed or collapsible. This open structure makes them ideal for loading cargo from the top or sides using cranes or forklifts. They are particularly useful for:

• Heavy machinery and industrial equipment
• Vehicles, boats, and aircraft parts
• Large pipes, beams, and construction materials
• Out-of-gauge project cargo

Their design facilitates secure lashing and bracing of cargo, ensuring safe transport by road, rail, or sea.

Flat Rack Options Available in Weston-super-Mare

Acorn Containers offers both 20ft and 40ft flat rack containers, providing options suitable for various cargo sizes and weights. We arrange delivery directly to your site in Weston-super-Mare or anywhere else across the UK.

20ft Flat Rack Containers

The 20ft flat rack offers a compact yet strong solution for smaller oversized items. Its dimensions make it easier to manoeuvre within tighter spaces, common in some industrial yards or project sites. The end walls on these units typically fold down, allowing for efficient stacking when empty, reducing storage costs and facilitating more economical return transport.

• Ideal for medium-sized machinery or equipment
• Collapsible ends for space-saving storage
• Suitable for road, rail, and sea transport

Like the 20ft versions, 40ft flat racks can come with collapsible ends for operational efficiency.

• Maximum capacity for large and heavy cargo
