Platform container, flat bed with no walls, for extreme out-of-gauge loads.

Definition

What is a flatrack container?

La famille plateforme répond aux charges qui n’ont pas besoin d’une caisse fermée. Elle sert aux marchandises lourdes, longues ou très encombrantes.

La plateforme s’inscrit dans la logique OOG — Out Of Gauge, hors gabarit standard — quand les dimensions dépassent les limites d’un conteneur classique. Le choix repose sur les points d’appui, le poids et l’arrimage.

Le projet doit être cadré avec les contraintes de manutention et de transport. Une plateforme ne se choisit pas sans connaître la charge réelle.

  • Support ouvert

    La plateforme offre une base de transport sans parois. Elle convient aux charges qui dépassent ou ne nécessitent pas de caisson.

  • Levage préparé

    La manutention doit être définie avec précision. Le poids, les appuis et l’arrimage structurent le devis.

  • Dimensions critiques

    Les dimensions de la charge conditionnent le transport. Elles doivent être connues avant toute cotation fiable.

  • Pièces lourdes

    La plateforme sert aux pièces qui ne nécessitent pas de caisse fermée. Les appuis doivent être compatibles avec la structure.

  • Manutention spéciale

    Le levage et l’arrimage font partie du projet. Ils doivent être étudiés avant la livraison.

Warranties

Our warranties

These warranties frame the purchase before delivery. They cover the inspection of the unit, technical advice, available documents and transport coordination.

  • Pre-sale inspection

    Every unit is inspected before the sale. We check the structure, the doors, the seals, the floor and the points that matter for the intended use.

  • Technical advice

    We frame the size, the condition and the site constraints before quoting. The choice remains tied to your use, the operating lifetime and the delivery method.

  • Useful documents

    The available documents are handed over with the sale. The CSC plate — International Convention for Safe Containers — certifies safety compliance when it is required.

  • Coordinated delivery

    The delivery appointment is prepared around the access constraints. The truck, the drop-off and the handling are chosen according to the ground and the size ordered.

Condition

Choosing between First-trip and Used

  • Image and lifetime first

    First-trip

    The First-trip label means it is a new unit, straight from the factory after a single sea voyage. It keeps intact paintwork, a near-new structure and a long operating lifetime.

    This choice suits visible projects, well-finished conversions and professional uses where the site's image matters as much as the function.

    • Near-new appearance for a visible site or client reception area.
    • Paintwork, seals and floor at the cleanest level.
    • A consistent investment for long-term operation.
  • Budget and use first

    Used

    A used container has already been in shipping service. It may show dents, scratches or surface rust marks, without losing its strength or watertightness as long as the unit is inspected.

    This choice optimises the budget for storage, worksite and industrial uses where the external appearance is not a priority.

    • Lower initial budget for storage, worksite and industry.
    • Signs of use accepted when the structure and watertightness are inspected.
    • A rational choice when aesthetics are not a priority.

The right question: what does your end client see?

If the container contributes to the site's image, First-trip secures the result. If the goal is to store or produce at the best cost, an inspected Used unit is often enough.

Pricing

How much does a plateforme container cost

The price of a container is not fixed. It moves every week, in step with the global market.

A shipping container is an international trade product. Its price depends on shipping demand, logistics disruptions, the cost of Corten steel and transport to the site.

At National Conteneur, we do not promise a fixed price for the year. We give the real price of the day, at the moment of your quote request.

Prices vary with market conditions. To obtain an up-to-date quote, contact National Conteneur to request a quote.

Process

How does a project unfold?

  • Quote request

    You specify the container type, the intended use, the delivery town and any known access constraints.

  • Technical advice

    We check the size, the condition, the useful options and the delivery feasibility before pricing the project.

  • Quote approval

    The quote sets out the chosen configuration, the departure area, transport, unloading and the estimated lead times.

  • On-site delivery

    The delivery is scheduled with the right carrier. The drop-off is done according to the access, the ground and the size ordered.

Delivery

Our delivery process

A container delivery is prepared before the truck leaves. The goal is to confirm the access, the placement area and the unloading method before the unit reaches the site.

  • Access and location

    We check the access width, the clearance height, the ground bearing capacity and the placement area to avoid an impossible delivery.

  • Truck selection

    The crane truck covers most deliveries. A mobile crane can be arranged when the reach, the weight or the access requires it.

  • Unloading

    The container is set down at the approved location. The four load-bearing corners must rest on a stable, prepared support.

  • Handover

    You inspect the delivered unit and the placement conditions. The useful information stays available for follow-up after delivery.
