What is a used 20ft Platform shipping container?
A Platform is a bare maritime chassis: a low steel deck, with no roof, no side walls, and no 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.
The deck, clear on all four sides, allows transport of parts that exceed even the ends of a Flat Rack. The Corten steel structure, a self-weathering steel that naturally resists marine corrosion, retains its original integrity. The floor and the lashing points are inspected at depot, and replaced in case of degradation.
In the reconditioned 20ft format, the unit retains 13.86 m² of floor area and 28,280 kg of payload. It is a proven solution for accessible-cost, fully open out-of-gauge transport, dismantling, metal recycling, prefabricated construction, compared with the first-trip; that is, new, model.
In detail
Platform or Flat Rack: what's the difference?
Both families are decks for out-of-gauge loads, with no roof or side walls. The difference lies in the ends. The Flat Rack keeps two fixed high end walls, front and rear. The Platform removes those too: all that remains is a bare steel deck.
With no end walls, access is clear on all four sides. A part can overhang the deck in every direction; something a Flat Rack does not allow, since its high end walls get in the way. The Platform therefore goes further in openness, at the cost of the rigidity the end walls provided. It is the ultimate option for long, flat loads that exceed even a Flat Rack's gauge.
Applications
Uses of a used 20ft Platform shipping container
The reconditioned Platform serves industrial flows where open access matters more than side protection. 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 Platform shipping container
The used 20ft Platform keeps the fully bare deck, the most open loading base there is, at a reduced cost. The strengths below show what the depot refurbishment guarantees on the structure and lashing, and why a platform lends itself well to reuse.
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 the open deck
The used unit represents a significant saving compared with new, without giving up the fully bare-deck function.
-
Corten box refurbished at depot
The welded structure is checked, the floor inspected, and the lashing points tested before handover. Load safety is verified.
-
Payload preserved
28,280 kg allowable, maintained after reconditioning with no structural correction. Capacity remains that of a new unit.
-
No obstacle to loading
Full access on all four sides is retained after inspection. The load can freely exceed the gauge, in every direction.
-
Eco-responsible approach
Extending the life of an existing Platform avoids manufacturing a new unit and saves several tonnes of steel.
-
Re-validated compliance
The ISO 6346 and CSC plates are checked according to the configuration chosen, for multimodal use.
Applications
What is the price of a used 20ft Platform shipping container
The used 20ft Platform follows a limited secondary market. Its availability depends on the arrival cycles of reconditioned bare decks at depot.
