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.

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.
Read more
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.
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.

Read the dimensions guideLe 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.
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.

What is the price of a new 40ft Flat Rack shipping container
The new 40ft Flat Rack is an ultra-specialized product in maritime trade. Its price reflects production cycles for reinforced 40ft platforms and very limited availability of long OOG units.
Four factors weigh on the price observed:
