Why Choose Flat Rack & Bolster Containers?

Flat Rack Containers

Flat rack containers feature fixed or collapsible end walls, making them ideal for transporting oversized, heavy or awkwardly shaped cargo that cannot fit inside a standard shipping container.

Bolster Containers

Bolster containers are open platform containers without end walls, providing unrestricted loading access from the sides and ends. Their low-profile design makes them suitable for long, wide or heavy cargo while maintaining strong load capacity.

SPECIALISED SHIPPING CONTAINERS

Flat Rack & Bolster Containers for Cargo

Flat rack and bolster containers are designed for transporting heavy, oversized and irregularly shaped cargo that cannot be loaded into a standard enclosed shipping container. They are commonly used for industrial machinery, construction equipment, steel, vehicles, pipes and other long or bulky materials.

Available in 20ft and 40ft sizes, these specialised containers provide flexible loading access from the sides, ends and above, making them suitable for demanding transport, storage and project requirements.

Features

Flat rack containers feature a reinforced platform with fixed or collapsible end walls. Their open-sided design allows cranes, forklifts and lifting equipment to load heavy or awkward cargo from multiple directions.

Bolster containers use a similar platform-style base but have no end walls, providing unrestricted access for long, wide and unusually shaped loads.

Sizes available

Flat rack and bolster containers are commonly available in:

  • 20ft lengths
  • 40ft lengths
  • Standard and specialised configurations

Availability may vary depending on container type, condition and current stock.

Bolster Containers
Open platform containers with no end walls, offering maximum loading flexibility while maintaining a strong, low-profile base for specialised cargo.

Delivery Options for Flat Rack & Bolster Containers

We provide Australia-wide delivery for flat rack and bolster containers using specialised transport equipment selected to suit your site access, container type and unloading requirements. Our team will recommend the most suitable delivery method before dispatch.

A tilt tray is often the most economical delivery option where sufficient clearance is available. The container slides directly into position, making it suitable for many commercial and industrial sites.

A HIAB crane truck can lift flat rack and bolster containers over fences, onto prepared foundations or into locations where direct vehicle access is limited.

Sideloaders load and unload containers alongside the truck, making them ideal for sites with adequate side clearance and minimal overhead obstructions.

Delivery timeframes depend on stock availability, destination and transport scheduling. Before delivery, our team will confirm site access, unloading requirements and recommend the safest and most efficient delivery solution for your project.
