ABSTRACT:
A folding flatrack freight carrier has folding walls (111) comprising slender corner posts (112) of a width similar to the conventional lashing gap (L). The posts (112) are synergetically supported by the wall structure (111) which may be transversely corrugated (113) or may have transverse or other stiffeners (127) secured to it. The slender corner posts (112) may comprise solid bars, rolled or pressed angle sections (129) or channel sections (138,139). The wall structure (113) may be extended angularly at (140) to form a hollow box section (141) with the slender corner post (112). The flatrack based platform may be made of an extended width (E) compared with the basic width (B) of a conventional flatrack, whilst still accommodating the corner posts (112) alongside the side rails (118) in the folded condition.
