containers used in the shipping<br />
industry. They come in lenghts of 10,<br />
20, and 40 feet, and they are designed<br />
to transport dry goods. These<br />

only two sides. This makes room for<br />
heavy loads to be set on the rack<br />
from above or from the side. Most<br />
flat rack containers are either 20 or<br />
40 feet long, and they are made from<br />
Steel for strength and durability.<br />
Some flat rack containers are<br />
collapsible, and some come with<br />
additional walls that can be attached<br />
to the frame.<br />

can be kept at a specific temperature<br />
during transport. For termal<br />
containers, the temperature is usually<br />

lower than the outside temperatura.<br />
Both containers are well insulated to<br />
ensure that the climate remains<br />
consistent inside.<br />
