In detail
What is a used 40ft Platform shipping container?
A Platform is a bare maritime chassis: a reinforced 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 40ft format is the range's long format.
The 40ft Platform offers 40,000 kg of payload on a long deck, at an accessible cost compared with the first-trip; that is, new, model. The reinforced steel box retains its original 40ft structure. The marine plywood floor and lashing points are inspected at depot before being put back into circulation.
In the reconditioned long format, the unit retains 29.7 m² of floor area and 40,000 kg of payload. It is a proven solution for accessible-cost long, flat out-of-gauge transport; OOG, for Out Of Gauge, refers to out-of-gauge loads: large-scale industrial dismantling, long recycling, prefabricated construction.
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.
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 40ft Platform shipping container

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 40ft Platform shipping container
The used 40ft Platform offers the bare deck of the long format, with its high payload, at a reduced cost. The strengths below show what the depot refurbishment guarantees on the structure and lashing, the elements that make long OOG transport safe.
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 the long open deck
The used unit represents a significant saving compared with new, without giving up the 40,000 kg payload.
-
Long deck format
29.7 m² of floor area allows transporting long, flat out-of-gauge parts in a single unit, with no break of load.
-
Reinforced steel box refurbished at depot
The 40ft structure is checked, the floor inspected, and the lashing points tested before handover.
-
Marine plywood floor inspected
The floor is checked and replaced in case of degradation. Its surface is verified for long concentrated loads.
-
Eco-responsible approach
Extending the life of an existing 40ft Platform 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 according to the configuration chosen, for multimodal use.
Applications
What is the price of a used 40ft Platform shipping container
The used 40ft Platform follows an ultra-limited secondary market. Its availability depends on the arrival cycles of reconditioned 40ft decks at depot.
