What is a flatrack container?
La famille plateforme répond aux charges qui n’ont pas besoin d’une caisse fermée. Elle sert aux marchandises lourdes, longues ou très encombrantes.

La plateforme s’inscrit dans la logique OOG — Out Of Gauge, hors gabarit standard — quand les dimensions dépassent les limites d’un conteneur classique. Le choix repose sur les points d’appui, le poids et l’arrimage.
Le projet doit être cadré avec les contraintes de manutention et de transport. Une plateforme ne se choisit pas sans connaître la charge réelle.

In detail
What is a new 40ft Platform shipping container?
A Platform is a bare maritime chassis: a steel deck a few decimeters high, with no roof, no side walls, and no 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 Platform offers a payload of 40,000 kg on a reinforced steel deck. The new structure is built on a box made of specific reinforced 40ft steel and a marine plywood floor sized for loads concentrated along the length. The 0.600 m exterior height corresponds to the deck alone, with no added superstructure.
In the long 40ft format, the unit offers 29.7 m² of floor area. It is the benchmark for long, flat industrial parts that exceed even the ends of a 40ft Flat Rack, and for flows where full access on all four sides is essential for loading.
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.

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
Platform or Flat Rack: what's the difference?
Both families are decks for out-of-gauge loads, OOG, for Out Of Gauge, 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.
Read more
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 new 40ft Platform shipping container
The new long 40ft format concentrates the most demanding capabilities of the maritime deck segment: 12.19 m of length, 40,000 kg of payload, and clear access on all four sides. 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 Platform shipping container
The new 40ft Platform is the bare deck of the long format: the most open loading base for long out-of-gauge parts. The strengths below explain what the total absence of walls brings and why this deck handles the most extreme loads.
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 Platform shipping container
The new 40ft Platform is an ultra-specialized product in maritime trade. Its price reflects production cycles for reinforced 40ft decks and extremely limited availability within the long OOG segment.
Four factors weigh on the price observed:
