Definition
What is a Flat Rack container?
La famille Flat Rack sert aux charges qui ne peuvent pas entrer dans un conteneur fermé classique. Elle répond aux marchandises longues, larges, hautes ou très difficiles à manœuvrer.
OOG signifie Out Of Gauge, c’est-à-dire hors gabarit standard. Le Flat Rack permet de traiter ces charges avec une plateforme et des extrémités adaptées selon modèle.
Le choix dépend du poids, des appuis, des dimensions et de la méthode de levage. La sécurité de manutention doit être étudiée avant devis.

In detail
What is a used 40ft 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 40ft format is the range's long format.

The 40ft Flat Rack offers the maximum payload in the maritime catalog, 44,900 kg, at an accessible cost compared with the first-trip; that is, new, model. The Corten steel box, a self-weathering steel that naturally resists marine corrosion, retains its original 40ft structure. The reinforced steel or wood floor and the lashing points are inspected at depot before being put back into circulation.
In the reconditioned long format, the unit retains 29.6 m² of floor area and 44,900 kg of payload. It is a proven solution for accessible-cost long industrial OOG transport; OOG, for Out Of Gauge, refers to out-of-gauge loads: large-scale dismantling, industrial recycling, modular construction.
Check the loaded dimensions
Record the dimensions and mass of the largest item, including its support and packaging. Specify the handling equipment and access needed to load, unload and work on the contents.

Usable space and access
- Interior (L × W × H)
- 11,880 m × 2,080 m × 2,270 m
Use the internal dimensions to plan the load or equipment layout. Allow the clearances needed for movement, handling and maintenance for your intended use.
Mass and load distribution
Check total mass, point loads, load distribution and handling equipment compatibility. Available volume does not determine permissible load: reference masses are listed in the technical specifications.

Dimensions in millimetres · perspective viewLe 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
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.
