Because the flat rack container has no side or top to protect the cargo, extra care must be taken to prevent damage by weather conditions such as heavy rain or strong winds. Lashing the cargo will help secure the cargo and make sure it stays in its place. When booking a flat rack shipping container, make sure to clearly indicate lifting points for your over- or odd-sized cargo to avoid damages — especially for heavy machinery.
Remember to also specify any special handling instructions to your freight forwarder. Open top containers, be it 20 ft or 40 ft, fall within the category of standard containers, despite not having a roof.
The type of goods typically transported in open top containers is essentially the same as those being transported in flat rack containers, but with more irregular heights. Some examples include goods that are too heavy for manual handling and must be lifted and loaded with a crane, or top-protruding merchandise that cannot fit into a 40 ft high cube standard container. Unlike the flat rack, which also has no roof, open top containers have walls to protect the goods.
A tarpaulin will be needed to cover the top to protect the merchandise. In other words, there is less room to work with for maneuvering when loading your cargo through the top of an open top shipping container. A 20 ft open top container has a maximum load of approximately 28 metric tons, while the 40 ft open top container can hold up to 30 metric tons. Due to low demand for open top containers, some carriers may find it difficult to secure cargo requiring open top containers to be able to send the containers back to the origin.
As such, carriers may implement an extra cost to transport open top containers, which can vary according to the destination. When booking an open top shipping container, make sure lifting points for your over- or odd-sized cargo are well-indicated to avoid damages and specify handling instructions to your freight forwarder.
They can hold bulk cargoes ranging from perishable liquids such as oil or wine to hazardous substances. Additional requirements will need to be fulfilled when shipping hazardous substances in ISO tanks. And once an ISO tank has been tagged to ship hazardous substances, it can no longer be used to ship food, and vice versa.
The ISO tank is supported on a structure that can be adjusted according to its dimensions. ISO tanks offer one of the most effective intermodal transportation methods for bulk cargo. They are safer, offer more flexibility, are more environmentally friendly, and relatively cheaper than other options such as OTR tank trucks.
