In detail
What is a new 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, front and rear. The "first-trip" designation means it is a new unit, straight from the factory after a single positioning journey. The 20ft format is the range's intermediate size.
This configuration provides full access from every angle: from the top, from the sides, and from the ends. It serves the loading of out-of-gauge cargo; OOG, for Out Of Gauge, meaning parts that exceed the width or height of a closed container. The new structure is built on a Corten steel box, a self-weathering steel that naturally resists marine corrosion, fully welded, with a 28 mm marine plywood floor.
In the 20ft format, the unit offers 12.84 m² of floor area for a payload of 31,250 kg, higher than a standard 20ft Dry container. It is the benchmark for transporting steel coils, compact construction machinery, heavy industrial equipment, and oversized prefabricated structures.
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 new 20ft Flat Rack shipping container
The absence of a roof and walls allows every loading method, crane, hoist, overhead crane, side access, for parts that won't fit through a closed container's doors. Four industrial 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 new 20ft Flat Rack shipping container
The new 20ft Flat Rack is the out-of-gauge platform of the intermediate format. The strengths below explain what the absence of roof and walls changes for loading, and why this platform handles loads no closed container can take.
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.
-
High payload
31,250 kg allowable, a capacity higher than a standard 20ft Dry container. The reinforced platform is sized for heavy, concentrated loads.
-
No obstacle to loading
With no roof or walls, access is by crane, from the sides, and from the ends, across the entire box. The load can freely exceed the gauge.
-
Fixed high end walls
The two end walls ensure load stability in multimodal transport and allow stacking in a ship's hold.
-
28 mm marine plywood floor
A flat, resistant surface, able to handle both rolling loads and heavy machines set down at a single point.
-
Fully welded Corten box
The self-weathering steel structure guarantees maritime-grade robustness. The platform is ISO 6346 and CSC compliant for multimodal transport.
-
Intermediate OOG format
The 20ft gauge is compatible with the European road fleet and ISO maritime terminals, with no modification.
Applications
What is the price of a new 20ft Flat Rack shipping container
The new 20ft Flat Rack belongs to a specialized segment of maritime trade. Its price depends on production cycles for reinforced platforms and more limited availability than a standard closed container.
