20ft Used Collapsible Flat Rack Shipping Container – Open-Sided Cargo Platform

This 20ft Used Collapsible Flat Rack Shipping Container features an open cargo configuration and folding steel end frames. It is designed for loading and transporting cargo that may require access from the sides or above, including items that may not fit within a standard enclosed shipping container.

The flat rack has an open-sided and open-top design, with no fixed side walls or roof. Its folding end frames can be lowered for storage and empty transportation. The supplied specifications describe a reinforced steel base frame, a timber or hardwood cargo deck on typical flat rack units, integrated cargo lashing points and ISO-style reinforced corner fittings.

Because this is an open flat rack, it does not provide the same enclosed protection as a standard shipping container. Cargo dimensions, weight, loading arrangements and securing requirements should be assessed against the specifications and condition of the individual unit before purchase.

Key Specifications

Main Features

Open Flat Rack Configuration

The flat rack has an open-sided and open-top configuration. This allows cargo to be loaded from the sides or above, depending on the dimensions of the cargo, available handling equipment and loading arrangements.

Unlike an enclosed shipping container, the flat rack does not have fixed side walls or a roof.

Folding End Frames

The unit includes two reinforced steel end frames. These frames can be folded down when the flat rack is being stored or transported empty.

Confirm the condition, operation and locking arrangements of the end frames for the individual used unit before purchase.

Steel Base Frame

The supplied specifications describe a reinforced steel base frame with longitudinal and transverse structural members. The condition and suitability of the frame should be assessed against the intended cargo and loading requirements.

Cargo Deck

Cargo Lashing Points

Integrated tie-down or lashing points are specified for cargo securing. The number, location, condition and rated capacity of the lashing points should be confirmed before use.

Cargo securing arrangements must be appropriate for the type, size, weight and shape of the cargo being transported.
