No problem.
A flat rack container is a modular storage or cabin unit with two walls on the shorter ends of the container, and no side walls.
This means that they’re ideal for transporting objects with specific dimensions that often need to be delivered in one go. Larger items can be tied down to the bulkheads on the shorter sides of the container, allowing for hassle-free transportation.
