40FT Used Flat Rack Shipping Container
For Oversized Loads. Built for Heavy Lifting.
The 40FT Used Flat Rack Shipping Container is designed for hauling oversized, irregular, or non-standard cargo that cannot be accommodated by enclosed units. This open-frame configuration—featuring no roof or side walls—enables top and side loading using forklifts or cranes, reducing handling time in both shipping and industrial logistics.
Made from CORTEN anti-corrosive steel and outfitted with a 19-ply marine-grade plywood floor, this container is certified cargo-worthy and built to endure rugged, high-weight applications. Fixed or collapsible end walls offer added flexibility depending on operational needs and stacking configurations.
Each unit is thoroughly inspected and prepared to meet performance expectations in rail, shipboard, yard, or ground-level applications.
