Description
40FT Platform Container – 40 Ton Payload
Built for Oversized Cargo. Designed for Strength.
The 40FT Platform Container is a flat-deck, heavy-duty transport unit designed to move oversized and ultra-heavy cargo that traditional containers can’t accommodate. With a payload capacity of 40,520 kg, an open roof and side-free layout, and a flush high-tensile steel deck, this container provides the structural stability and anchoring performance required for demanding industrial, maritime, or intermodal logistics.
Whether used for mobile machinery, project freight, or yard staging, this platform container delivers maximum load performance, stackable engineering, and full ISO & CSC compliance.
Key Features
-
Container Type: 40FT Platform – Flat deck, no roof or walls
-
Payload Capacity: Over 40 metric tons (40,520 kg)
-
Construction: Stackable CORTEN steel frame with high-tensile flush steel deck
-
Loading Profile: Low deck height (480 mm) for efficient crane/forklift compatibility
-
Twistlocks: Built-in for direct cargo lashing
-
Certification: CSC & ISO certified for global freight forwarding
-
Finish: Standard RAL5013 – Custom coatings available upon request
The absence of side and roof panels allows for complete multi-angle access, making this container ideal for irregular, over-height, and over-width cargo loads.

Each unit is engineered for repeat loading under concentrated stress points without distortion — a critical advantage for equipment and cargo that exceed standard density thresholds.
Structural & Performance Advantages
Flush Steel Deck
Provides uniform load support across the surface. Designed to resist warping under point-loaded cargo such as tracked vehicles or reinforced skids.
Integrated Twistlocks
Facilitates safe and compliant anchoring of abnormal cargo profiles — including cranes, turbines, heavy drums, and machinery bases — without additional framing.
Open Architecture
With no roof or sidewalls, this platform enables efficient lateral and overhead loading for bulky or asymmetrical freight.
Low Deck Height
Only 480 mm from the ground, reducing lift height for forklifts, side loaders, or gantry cranes — especially beneficial for dense loads requiring tight clearance.
Multimodal Compatibility
Built for seamless handling by ships, railcars, yard lifts, and flatbed trailers. Ideal for long-haul transit across ports, depots, and project sites.
Stackable Format
When not in use, platform containers can be stacked securely, optimizing space at logistics yards or staging zones.
Suitable Use Cases
Heavy Equipment & Machinery
Designed for the secure transit of excavators, dozers, oversized trucks, or tracked vehicles.
Project Cargo Logistics
Ideal for massive equipment like turbines, generators, transformers, and structural components that exceed general ISO container limits.
Oversized Freight Solutions
Supports irregular loads such as steel beams, oilfield skids, container-mounted gensets, or long-span assemblies.
Yard Storage & Static Use
Functions as a stable elevated base for temporary machinery, mobile staging, or remote-site equipment deployment.
