Flatracks
consist of a floor structure with a high loading
capacity composed of a steel frame and a softwood floor
and two end walls, which may either be fixed or
collapsible. The end walls are stable enough to allow
cargo securing means to be attached and several
flatracks to be stacked on top of one another. Flatracks
are available in 20' and 40' sizes.
A number of lashing rings, to which the cargo may be
secured, are installed in the side rails, the corner
posts and the floor. The lashing rings may take loads of
up to 2000 kg in the case of 20' flatracks or up to 4000
kg in the case of 40' flatracks.Some types of 20'
flatracks have forklift pockets.40' flatracks have
gooseneck tunnels at each end. In addition, they are
sometimes equipped with lashing winches with 2 metric
ton lashing belts.For transport of certain cargoes,
flatracks may be provided with stanchions. |
