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.
