Description
20FT Used Flat Rack Shipping Container
Purpose-Built for Oversized Loads. Engineered for Strength.
The 20FT Used Flat Rack Shipping Container is built for transporting and storing over-gauge or irregular cargo that simply won’t fit inside a traditional container. With no roof or side walls, it provides unrestricted access from the top and sides — making it the go-to solution for loading with cranes, forklifts, or other heavy equipment.
Constructed from CORTEN anti-corrosive steel and built to meet CSC standards, this flat rack container is designed for industries requiring secure, heavy-duty, and weather-resilient equipment transport. Available with fixed-end or collapsible-end configurations.
Key Features
- Structure: CORTEN anti-corrosive high-tensile steel
- Flooring: 28mm marine-grade solid plank plywood
- End Walls: Choice of fixed or collapsible ends (based on availability)
- Handling Access: Integrated forklift pockets
- Condition: Cargo Worthy – minor dents or surface rust expected
- Certification: CSC compliant – pre-dispatch inspected and ready for international or domestic use
- Service Life: Approx. 10–14 years in circulation

Structural Highlights
- Open-access configuration supports loading from all directions
- Fixed-end walls provide greater rigidity for securing tall or off-center loads
- Collapsible-end models offer stacking flexibility for return or storage logistics
- Plywood deck engineered to withstand uneven loads, tracked equipment, and impact from industrial machinery
- Intermodal-ready design with corner blocks for secure stacking, chaining, or tie-down during transport
Every container is thoroughly inspected to ensure compliance with CSC certification standards, and all tie-down points are validated for safe cargo lashing.
Best Use Applications
Heavy Machinery & Equipment
Suitable for loading engine blocks, industrial compressors, generators, and mining equipment.
Long & Overlength Cargo
Handles bundles of pipes, steel beams, utility poles, or any cargo that exceeds the width or height of enclosed containers.
Skid-Mounted Units
Ideal base for transporting mobile pumps, portable generators, and process skids for chemical or energy sectors.
Vehicle Shipping
Enables transport of track-driven, chassis-mounted, or irregular-profile vehicles that won’t clear roofed containers.
Agricultural Implements
Provides temporary or long-haul staging for irrigation systems, plow assemblies, and oversized components.
Inspection & Compliance Standards
Each container undergoes pre-dispatch inspection to ensure:
- Structural frame integrity and weld quality
- Deck surface condition for heavy or uneven cargo
- Forklift pocket access and clearances
- End-wall operability for collapsible units
- Tie-down points confirmed and rust-resistant
All units are CSC certified, making them suitable for global transport, intermodal systems, or permanent site-based deployment.
