Used 40ft Flat Rack Shipping Container

This used 40ft flat rack shipping container provides an open platform for oversized, heavy, and irregularly shaped cargo that cannot easily fit inside a standard enclosed shipping container.

Unlike a traditional dry container, a flat rack has no solid side walls or roof, allowing cargo to be loaded from above or from either side. This makes it a practical solution for machinery, construction materials, industrial equipment, steel components, pipes, vehicles, and other bulky items.

The reinforced steel frame and heavy-duty floor provide a durable loading platform, while integrated lashing points allow properly loaded cargo to be secured to the container.

Open Flat Rack Design

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

Depending on the cargo and site requirements, items can be positioned using cranes, forklifts, or other suitable material-handling equipment.

The open design also means that stored or transported goods are exposed to weather conditions. Cargo requiring protection from rain, sun, wind, or other environmental exposure should be appropriately covered or protected.

End-Wall Configuration

Flat rack containers may be manufactured with fixed or collapsible end walls. The configuration of available used units can vary.

Collapsible models allow the end walls to fold down when the container is empty, reducing its overall profile for certain storage and handling applications.

Customers requiring a specific fixed-end or collapsible configuration should confirm availability with Y-Containers before ordering.

Construction & Flooring

The container is constructed around a reinforced steel frame designed for demanding cargo-handling applications.

The heavy-duty floor provides a practical loading surface for machinery, vehicles, industrial components, construction materials, and other bulky cargo.

Because cargo weight, dimensions, and load concentration can vary significantly, customers with heavy or concentrated loads should confirm the capacity and suitability of the individual flat rack before ordering.
