In detail
What is a new 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 "first-trip" designation means it is a new unit, straight from the factory after a single positioning journey. The 40ft format is the range's long format.
The 40ft Flat Rack offers a payload of 44,900 kg; the highest in the shipping container catalog. The new structure is built on a Corten steel box, a self-weathering steel that naturally resists marine corrosion, fully welded, fixed high end walls, and a reinforced steel or wood floor designed to absorb extreme concentrated loads.
In the long 40ft format, the unit offers 29.6 m² of floor area, with no roof or walls. It is the benchmark for transporting giant industrial machines, long wind-turbine sections, heavy transformers, large-format steel coils, and out-of-gauge prefabricated structures; OOG, for Out Of Gauge.
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 40ft Flat Rack shipping container
The new long 40ft format concentrates the segment's most demanding capabilities: 12 meters of length, maximum payload, and a reinforced floor for the heaviest parts. 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 40ft Flat Rack shipping container
The new 40ft Flat Rack is the benchmark out-of-gauge platform for long, heavy parts. The strengths below explain what its record payload and full opening bring to OOG transport, and why it handles loads no closed box 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.
-
Maximum payload
44,900 kg allowable, the highest value in the maritime segment. The platform is sized for heavy parts concentrated at one point.
-
Long platform format
29.6 m² of floor area allows transporting long out-of-gauge parts in a single unit, with no break of load.
-
No obstacle to loading
With no roof or walls, access is by crane, from the sides, and from the ends, along the entire length. The load can freely exceed the gauge.
-
Reinforced steel or wood floor
A flat surface sized to handle extreme concentrated loads set down at a single point.
-
Fixed high end walls
The two end walls ensure load stability in multimodal transport and allow stacking in a ship's hold.
-
Fully welded Corten box
The self-weathering steel structure guarantees maritime-grade robustness. The platform is ISO 6346 and CSC compliant.
