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.
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

Highlights
Why buy a used 40ft Flat Rack shipping container

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 long OOG
The used unit represents a significant saving compared with new, without giving up the maximum payload of 44,900 kg.
-
Long platform format
29.6 m² of floor area offers the maximum capacity in the segment for transporting long out-of-gauge parts in a single unit.
-
Corten box refurbished at depot
The 40ft welded structure is checked, the reinforced floor inspected, and the lashing points tested before handover.
-
Reinforced floor inspected
The floor is checked and replaced in case of degradation. Its surface is verified to handle extreme concentrated loads.
-
Eco-responsible approach
Extending the life of an existing 40ft Flat Rack box avoids manufacturing a new unit. On a large format, the steel savings are significant.
-
Re-validated compliance
The ISO 6346 and CSC plates are checked and Cargo Worthy status remains attainable for continued maritime reuse.
