40Ft Used Collapsible Flat Rack Containers – Heavy-Duty Solutions for Oversized Cargo
The 40Ft Used Collapsible Flat Rack Container is a purpose-built logistics solution
designed for transporting oversized, heavy, or irregularly shaped cargo that cannot be accommodated
by standard shipping containers. Ideal for industrial, construction, energy, and manufacturing
applications, flat rack containers provide maximum loading flexibility while maintaining the strength
and certification required for international transport.
These units are used, cargo-worthy, and CSC certified, making them a cost-effective
option for businesses that require reliable performance without the expense of brand-new equipment.
Their collapsible design allows for efficient storage, reduced return freight costs, and simplified
handling when not in active use.
Collapsible End Walls for Maximum Efficiency
One of the key advantages of a collapsible flat rack container is its fold-down end walls.
When not in use, the end walls can be folded flat, allowing multiple units to be stacked together.
This dramatically reduces storage space requirements and minimizes transportation costs when moving
empty containers.
This feature is especially valuable for logistics operators, shipping lines, and project cargo
specialists who need to reposition equipment efficiently or store flat racks between projects.
Engineered for Heavy and Irregular Loads
Constructed from heavy-duty Corten steel, these 40ft flat rack containers are built
to withstand extreme loads, harsh weather conditions, and demanding transport environments. The
reinforced steel end frames and robust base structure provide exceptional load-bearing capacity,
making them suitable for transporting machinery, steel structures, pipes, vehicles, and industrial
components.
With an impressive maximum payload exceeding 33,000 kg, these containers are ideal
for high-weight cargo that requires secure anchoring and open-sided access.
Open Design for Flexible Loading
Unlike enclosed containers, flat rack containers feature an open-top and open-side design,
allowing cargo to be loaded from the top, sides, or ends using cranes or forklifts. This flexibility
makes them indispensable for oversized freight that exceeds standard container dimensions.
Integrated lashing points along the base and end walls enable secure tie-down of
cargo, ensuring stability during sea, rail, or road transport.
Forklift Pockets & Practical Handling
For ease of handling, each 40ft collapsible flat rack container is fitted with
forklift pockets, allowing for smooth movement and positioning within depots,
ports, and industrial sites. This simplifies day-to-day operations and reduces loading times,
particularly when managing heavy or awkward cargo.
Durable Flooring & Certified Safety
The container floor is constructed from heavy-duty wooden decking, designed to
withstand concentrated loads while providing a stable base for cargo. The flooring works in
conjunction with the steel frame to evenly distribute weight across the container.
All units are CSC certified, confirming compliance with international safety and
structural standards. This certification ensures the flat rack can be used confidently for global
shipping and intermodal transport.
