Used 20ft Flat Rack Shipping Container

This used 20ft flat rack shipping container is designed for oversized, heavy, and irregularly shaped cargo that cannot easily fit inside a standard enclosed shipping container.

Unlike a traditional dry container, the flat rack features an open-top and open-side design that allows equipment and materials to be loaded from above or from either side. This makes it particularly useful for machinery, construction materials, industrial equipment, vehicles, pipes, steel components, and other bulky cargo.

The container features a reinforced Cor-ten steel frame, heavy-duty timber flooring, multiple integrated lashing points, and collapsible end walls for flexible loading and storage.

• Used 20ft flat rack shipping container
• Open-top and open-side design
• Collapsible end walls

Open Flat Rack Design

The flat rack configuration eliminates the side walls and roof found on a standard enclosed shipping container. This provides substantially greater flexibility when loading items that are too wide, tall, or irregularly shaped to fit through standard container cargo doors.

Cargo can be positioned using cranes, forklifts, or other suitable material-handling equipment depending on the size and weight of the load.

Multiple lashing and tie-down points are positioned around the container to provide attachment locations for properly securing cargo.

Collapsible End Walls

The end walls can be folded down when the container is not loaded, creating a compact flat-platform configuration.

This design can make empty flat racks easier to stack, store, and reposition while also providing additional flexibility for certain loading applications.

End-wall design and minor construction details may vary depending on the manufacturer and individual unit.

Construction & Flooring

The flat rack is constructed around a reinforced Cor-ten steel frame designed to support heavy cargo.

A heavy-duty timber floor provides a durable loading surface for machinery, equipment, vehicles, construction materials, and other cargo.

Because load requirements can vary significantly, customers transporting particularly heavy or concentrated loads should confirm the weight capacity and suitability of the individual container before use.
