40′ Bolster

For oversized items that do not need to be covered or protected from the elements but do not fit in standard-size shipping containers, there are bolsters.

And we stock bolsters for fast dispatch to you, nationwide.

Bolsters are the ideal container for these types of items because they can carry large items but are covered. A bolster is a type of flat rack shipping container that has no ends.

Flat rack shipping containers have a very strong base and have either fixed ends or foldable ends. Flat racks are most useful for shipping long or awkward-sized items. Bolsters do not have any side or end walls or a roof. Bolsters are ideal for shipping items that need support but can also be open to the elements. Bolsters have a steel frame and a wooden or steel platform on which the item is placed. Raquel's Shipping Container Solutions LTD sells durable 40’ bolster shipping containers that are made to ship the largest items.

Raquel's Shipping Container Solutions LTD’ 40’ bolster shipping containers are built out of Corten steel and come in standard sizes so they can be moved from truck to port to ship easily and efficiently. Bolsters can also be stacked much like general-purpose shipping containers can be because they also have corner fittings, which make them easy to store when not in use. Flat rack shipping containers keep your items safe during shipment. The flat rack shipping containers handle the bumps and dips in the road or on the sea and will keep your items protected.

Versatile and Intermodal

Flat rack shipping containers were created because many items did not fit into the standard 20’ or 40’ general-purpose shipping containers. Before flat rack shipping containers there was no easy or convenient way to ship items like cars, boats, machinery, or heavy materials. Flat rack shipping containers are some of the strongest shipping containers on the market. You can easily ship large and heavy items on a flat rack shipping container or bolsters. The most important thing to remember when shipping an item on a bolster shipping container is that it will not be covered by a roof, top, or any sides. Items shipping on bolsters are completely exposed to the elements so ensure that your item can withstand weather and elements before you choose to use a bolster to ship it. Bolster shipping containers from Raquel's Shipping Container Solutions LTD were built to handle the biggest and heaviest of shipping cargo.

Why would you need a flat rack shipping container as opposed to an open-top shipping container? Open-top shipping containers are excellent for carrying heavy loads and loading items in bulk but they cannot be shipped without their top or roof secured which means when you have oversized items that are extremely tall they will not fit in an open-top shipping container. Additionally, open-top shipping containers have sides so extra wide items or extra-long items will not fit inside of them. Flat rack and bolster shipping containers were built to handle the widest, longest, and biggest of items that needed to be shipped. Bolster shipping containers are ideal for shipping items such as machinery, large pieces of metal or wood, industrial parts, cars, boats, or yachts. Flat racks can be used for any oversized item that can be outside!

Stack them for fast return Transport – An operational Dream

Who uses bolster shipping containers? Bolster shipping containers are not used like traditional general-purpose shipping containers are often used. Bolster shipping containers are mainly used by the construction industry, industrial shipping, international moving companies, mining companies, and logging companies. These industries often use tools and machinery that weigh many tons and bolster shipping containers are ideal for carrying that amount of weight.

Bolster shipping containers are very convenient shipping containers to have available because they are easy to stack and store when they are not being used. Since they are a 40’ platform, you can easily stack them in bulk or move them into tight spaces when you are not using them to ship items. If you have bulk shipping needs, you can easily purchase bolster shipping containers in bulk and store them together on top of one another.

Flat rack shipping containers are not often used for storage like general purpose shipping containers however there are creative uses for them, especially the 40’ bolster shipping container. One of the more creative ways individuals have used bolster shipping containers is as a bridge on properties and farms. The bolster shipping container holds heavy items so cars and trucks can safely drive over them if there is a small dip or hole on your property or if you need a temporary bridge because of flooding from a nearby creek, you can use a bolster shipping container to create a temporary bridge. This will save you money from having to construct something more permanent and when you no longer need to use the bridge, you can simply stack the bolsters and pack them away.
