Move cargo that simply will not fit inside a standard container with a Used 40ft Flat Rack Shipping Container built for oversized machinery, structural materials, heavy equipment and project freight.

With open sides, open-top access and collapsible end walls, the 40ft flat rack allows bulky cargo to be loaded from multiple directions using cranes, forklifts and specialized lifting equipment. It is a versatile platform for construction, agriculture, manufacturing, energy and heavy industry across the USA.

Short Description

Heavy-duty Used 40ft Flat Rack Shipping Container with collapsible end walls, open-side and overhead loading access, reinforced flooring and high payload capability for oversized cargo.

Built for Cargo Beyond Standard Dimensions

Flat rack containers remove the fixed side walls and roof found on conventional shipping containers, allowing loads to extend beyond the normal container profile where transportation requirements permit.

The reinforced base supports substantial loads, while integrated lashing points provide multiple locations for securing machinery, equipment and fabricated components during handling and transport.

Collapsible end walls also allow the unit to be folded when empty, helping simplify storage and repositioning.

This version also avoids presenting the 39,400 kg payload as universal, since actual 40ft flat-rack ratings can differ considerably between manufacturers and individual units.
