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.

In detail
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.
Read more
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.

Le choix de l’état
Premier voyage ou occasion ?
L’aspect attendu, l’usage et le budget orientent le choix. Demandez les photos et les caractéristiques du conteneur proposé avant de vous décider.
Premier voyage : quel état ?
Un conteneur premier voyage est une unité récemment fabriquée qui a effectué un trajet maritime de positionnement. Son aspect est généralement proche du neuf, mais de petites marques de transport ou de manutention restent possibles.
C’est une option à privilégier pour une installation visible, un aménagement soigné ou un projet où l’état initial compte particulièrement. Demandez les photos et les caractéristiques du conteneur proposé.
Occasion : pour quels usages ?
Un conteneur d’occasion a déjà servi au transport maritime. Les bosses, les reprises de peinture, la corrosion et les réparations varient d’une unité à l’autre : l’appellation seule ne décrit pas son état réel.
Pour le stockage, le chantier ou un usage technique, une occasion contrôlée peut répondre au besoin avec un budget initial plus contenu. Distinguez les traces d’usage acceptables des défauts qui affectent la structure, la fermeture des portes ou l’étanchéité.
Que vérifier avant l’achat ?
- Structure : déformations importantes, trous, corrosion perforante, état du châssis et des coins ISO.
- Portes et joints : ouverture, fermeture, fonctionnement des barres de verrouillage et continuité des joints.
- Plancher et étanchéité : zones molles, réparations inadaptées et entrées de lumière anormales, hors ventilation prévue.
Pour un transport maritime international, faites aussi confirmer la validité CSC et l’aptitude de l’unité au transport prévu. La plaque ne remplace pas l’examen du conteneur.
Budget : que faut-il comparer ?
À format comparable, l’occasion est généralement moins chère à l’achat. Vérifiez aussi ce que le devis inclut : le conteneur, le transport et le déchargement sur votre site.
À format identique, les dimensions nominales restent les mêmes ; la tare et la charge utile se vérifient sur les plaques. Pour un frigorifique, un Open Side ou un conteneur équipé, contrôlez aussi les équipements décisifs pour votre usage : groupe froid, portes ou installations.
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.
Read more
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.

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.
