In detail
What is a used 20ft Flat Rack shipping container?
A Flat Rack container is a platform-type container: it has no roof or side walls, only a floor and two fixed high end walls. The "used" designation refers to a reconditioned unit; a box that has already been in service, refurbished and inspected at a depot before being put back into circulation. The 20ft format is the range's intermediate size.
This configuration provides full access from every angle, benefiting the loading of out-of-gauge cargo; OOG, for Out Of Gauge, meaning parts too wide or too tall for a closed container. The Corten steel structure, a self-weathering steel that naturally resists marine corrosion, retains its original integrity. The marine plywood floor and the lashing points are inspected, and replaced in case of degradation.
In the reconditioned 20ft format, the unit retains 12.84 m² of floor area and 31,250 kg of payload. It is a proven solution for industrial OOG transport at an accessible cost, construction, metallurgy, dismantling, compared with the first-trip; that is, new, model.
In detail
Flat Rack or closed container: why a platform?
A closed container loads through its doors: the cargo must fit through them, staying within the opening's gauge. A part wider or taller than this opening won't fit. The Flat Rack removes the problem: with no roof or walls, it loads from the top by crane, from the sides, or from the ends.
The two high end walls, however, remain essential. They stiffen the structure, serve as lashing points, and allow stacking; containers stacked in a ship's hold. The Flat Rack is the compromise of the OOG segment: maximum loading access, but still a stable, stackable structure.
Applications
Uses of a used 20ft Flat Rack shipping container
The reconditioned 20ft serves industrial OOG flows where cost-effectiveness comes first, without compromising on payload. Four uses illustrate this:
The applications below show in which contexts this format is most relevant. Each use case connects the on-site need to the container's concrete benefit.
Highlights
Why buy a used 20ft Flat Rack shipping container
The used 20ft Flat Rack keeps the out-of-gauge capacity, the very purpose of this platform, at a reduced cost. The strengths below show what the depot refurbishment guarantees on the structure and the lashing points, the elements that make a Flat Rack safe.
The strengths below explain what each technical choice brings to the project. They help compare the product with a less specialized alternative or a different condition.
-
Accessible price for OOG
The used unit represents a significant saving compared with new, without giving up the out-of-gauge segment's high payload.
-
Corten box refurbished at depot
The welded structure is checked, the marine plywood floor inspected, and the lashing points tested before handover. Load safety is verified.
-
Payload preserved
31,250 kg allowable, maintained after reconditioning with no structural correction. Capacity remains that of a new unit.
-
Access from every angle
With no roof or side walls, the platform loads by crane, from the sides, and from the ends. No structural obstacle limits loading.
-
Eco-responsible approach
Extending the life of an existing Flat Rack box avoids manufacturing a new unit and saves several tonnes of steel.
-
Re-validated compliance
The ISO 6346 and CSC plates are checked and Cargo Worthy status remains attainable for continued maritime reuse.
