The 20ft x 8ft Used Flat Rack Shipping Container is a heavy-duty transport solution designed for oversized, heavy, and irregularly shaped cargo that cannot be accommodated in a standard enclosed shipping container. Constructed from high-strength steel, this used flat rack container provides unrestricted loading from the sides and top, making it ideal for transporting machinery, construction equipment, steel structures, pipes, vehicles, timber, and industrial cargo.
Featuring an open-sided design with fixed or collapsible end frames (depending on availability), the container allows flexible loading using cranes, forklifts, or other lifting equipment. Its 28mm marine-grade plywood floor is engineered to withstand heavy concentrated loads while providing a durable working surface.
The container is CSC plated, making it suitable for international intermodal transport where the CSC certification remains valid. Multiple heavy-duty lashing rings are integrated into the side rails and end structures, allowing cargo to be securely restrained during transport.
Designed for demanding industrial applications, the flat rack is stackable within its CSC-rated load limits. Forklift pockets are available on selected units depending on the manufacturer and model.
