Although you won’t find open-top and flat-rack containers directly in our list of offered cargo spaces, you can load them with a simple trick. In fact, our software can even load items that exceed the dimensions of closed containers.

How to load open or flat rack containers?

The whole process of loading open containers is very simple. First, choose one of the containers available in our software. Then, simply adjust the dimensions of the cargo size to the type of open container you need – and that’s it. The following dimensions are what need to be adjusted for the type of container.

  • Open-top: in this case, just increase the height of the loading size.
  • Flat-rack: for this container, you have to increase the height and width of the loading size.

Simply customize the dimensions in the loading calculation settings panel.

Flat-rack container loading

To load a flat-rack container in our software, adjust both the height and width of the loading size for the selected container, add items, and press the Load button. If you are transporting a heavier load, you can move this load to the center of gravity.
