Load Bulk Cargo Faster with Open Top and Flat Rack Containers
For businesses moving granular cargo, oversized equipment, or materials that won’t fit through standard container doors, open-top and flat rack containers solve the access problem directly. ABC Containers stocks 20ft and 40ft open top containers with removable roofs and swing-out door headers, making crane or overhead feeder loading straightforward and efficient.
Flat racks with collapsible ends handle oversize, overweight freight that standard ISO containers can’t accommodate, with integrated lashing rings rated for loads up to 2 tonnes (20ft) or 4 tonnes (40ft). Both container types are available for sale or hire and can be transported to Perth metro and regional WA locations.
Mining operators commonly use open tops for machinery parts and flat racks for steel fabrications – but they suit any industry where conventional door-end loading creates a bottleneck. Contact our team to confirm current stock and delivery lead times for your site.
ISO Tank Containers for Liquids, Powders, and Gases
When your cargo is liquid, powder, or gas, standard dry freight containers aren’t suitable. ISO tank containers provide a purpose-built solution for products that require proper containment, transport compliance, and load management during transit.
Available in 20ft configurations across a range of specifications matched to your product’s chemical stability, tank containers are built for road and rail and meet strict Australian safety standards. Correct fill levels matter – overfilling creates pressure risk, underfilling causes instability in transit – and our team advises on both before your container leaves our yard.
For operators needing additional containment features, we offer bunded floor and side-entry door modifications through our in-house workshop. If you’re in agriculture, chemical logistics, or industrial supply and need a reliable, compliant way to move bulk liquids or powders across Western Australia, talk to us about what’s available.
Advantage / Uses
Shipping Containers with open sides/top offer more suitable loading and unloading access for bulky items or granular cargo. Structurally speaking, open top (OT) containers have a removable roof and swing-out door header, making loading and unloading from above by a crane or feeder much easier. These types of bulk containers are usually transported via road or rail and are quite often used in the mining industry. Open-top containers are also suitable for over-height items such as machine parts.
Flat rack containers are a high-load-bearing floor with two end walls that are either collapsible or fixed. These end walls assist in securing cargo and act as corner posts for stacking other containers on top. Often used for bulky, overweight and oversized items, the flat rack container has several lashing rings on the side rails to which cargo weighing up to 2 tonnes (20′) or 4 tonnes (40′) can be fastened.
Tank Containers provide a solution for the storage, temperature control and transport of bulk liquids, powders and gases. Tank containers are typically available as 20-footers and come in a variety of specifications depending on the chemical stability of the powder, liquid or gas you are transporting. As a rule, tank containers should not be over-filled, to allow for gas expansion and should not be under-filled to avoid unbalancing motion during transport.
