40ft X 8ft Used Shipping Container – Flat-rack

This 40ft used flat-rack shipping container is designed for transporting and handling large, heavy or unusually shaped cargo that may not fit inside a standard enclosed shipping container.

Its open-side configuration provides access for loading oversized or irregularly shaped cargo, while integrated lashing rings in the side rails, floor and corner posts provide designated points for securing cargo during handling and transportation.

Key Specifications

Open-Side Configuration

The flat-rack design has open sides rather than enclosed side walls. This provides additional access when loading and positioning large or irregularly shaped cargo.

The open configuration can be useful for cargo that cannot be loaded through the doors of a standard enclosed shipping container.

Cargo Securing

Lashing rings are located in the side rails, floor and corner posts. These provide designated attachment points for securing cargo during handling and transportation.

The number, position and condition of lashing points should be checked on the individual unit before use.

Flooring and Construction

The container has a 28mm marine plywood floor and is supplied with shipping and stacking plates as stated.

Confirm the condition of the floor, frame, corner posts, lashing points and other structural components before purchase and before loading cargo.

Potential Applications

This 40ft flat-rack may be suitable for:

• Large or oversized cargo
• Heavy equipment
• Machinery
• Irregularly shaped loads
• Specialised transportation
• Certain storage applications
• Platform applications
• Cargo handling where open-side access is required

Transport and shipping suitability depends on the condition of the individual unit, cargo dimensions and weight, securing arrangements, applicable requirements and carrier acceptance.

Used Condition

As this is a used container, it may show visible signs of previous use, including dents, scratches, surface rust, paint wear and other cosmetic marks.

The appearance and condition of individual units may vary depending on their previous use and handling. Confirm the actual condition of the unit before purchase.

Important Information

Confirm the final dimensions, condition, floor condition, lashing points, structural components, access configuration and handling requirements before purchase.

For transportation or shipping applications, confirm that the individual unit and its current condition meet the requirements of the intended cargo, carrier and transport route.

Individual product specifications should be checked against the requirements of the intended storage, handling or transport application.
