Flat racks are used in the shipping industry to convert large industrial machinery, pipe, logs, lumber, steel beams and heavy equipment into a stackable cubed load that can interlock with traditional shipping containers on a vessel or barge.
40ft flat racks also work well as bridges to cross small creeks and ditches in place of traditional culverts that may disturb the stream channel and fish migration.
Flat racks are an engineered structure with tested and certified load ratings in both static and dynamic load conditions. Flat Racks have a certified rating for total deck rating as well as concentrated deck rating for the center 6ft span of over 52,000lbs.
In addition to having certified load ratings flat racks also have a common re-certification process by a marine surveyor that can certify that the used flat rack is capable of carrying its designed weight in both the static and dynamic state.
Flat racks are 8ft wide and 40ft long. It is common to place 2 side by side for vehicle traffic creating a 16ft wide bridge.
Where vehicle width is not a concern like at golf courses, foot bridges and in some agricultural applications, flat racks are placed as a single unit bridge 8ft wide.
