Used 20-Foot Flat Rack Container – Practical, Versatile, and Cost-Effective
A used 20 ft flat rack container is the ideal solution for oversized or unusually shaped cargo that cannot fit into standard containers. Its open-sided design and foldable end walls allow cargo to be easily loaded from the sides or above, making it perfect for heavy machinery, vehicles, pipes, or construction materials. Once loaded, the cargo is securely supported by the sturdy Corten steel base frame, providing safe transport and storage.

Even as a used container, it remains ISO- and CSC-certified, ensuring compliance with international shipping standards. Its compact 20-foot size allows for efficient handling, making it a flexible solution for project logistics, construction sites, or specialized freight.

What does “used container” mean?
A “used” shipping container has typically been in service for several years in international transport. It shows signs of wear such as scratches, dents, or surface rust, but remains wind- and watertight, secure, and fully functional. Used containers are inspected and certified to ensure safe handling and cost-effective use.

Ideal for temporary dry storage, construction site operations, or integration into a supply chain, a used 20-foot container provides a practical and proven solution. Suitable for anyone looking for used shipping containers for sale, storage containers for sale, or portable storage units.

For any products under 40ft long:

When buying a container online, you can choose to have your container delivered with or without a crane.

With Crane

Your container will be delivered on a truck-mounted crane, allowing the driver to lift and position the container without additional offloading equipment.

To facilitate a truck-mounted crane delivery, you will need:

• Length Clearance: 18.75m (61.5ft)
• Height Clearance: 4m (13ft)
• Width Clearance: 3.65m (12ft)

Without Crane (Standard Chassis)

If you select delivery without a crane, your container will be delivered on a flat chassis with no built-in offloading equipment. You will therefore be responsible for offloading the container yourself using the appropriate heavy-duty equipment.

To facilitate a delivery without a crane, you will also need:

• Length Clearance: 18.75m (61.5ft)
• Height Clearance: 4m (13ft)
• Width Clearance: 3.65m (12ft)

When buying a container online, you can choose to have your container delivered by side-loader or standard chassis.

With a Side-Loader

Your container will be delivered on a specialized truck called a side-loader (sometimes also known as a side-lifter). This vehicle has hydraulic arms that lift the container off the trailer and set it down beside the truck.

To facilitate a side-loader delivery, you will need:

• Length Clearance: 18.75m (61.5ft)
• Height Clearance: 4m (13ft)
• Width Clearance: 3.65m (12ft)

Standard Chassis

If you select delivery by standard chassis, you will be responsible for lifting and placing your shipping container on the ground with the appropriate heavy-duty equipment.

To facilitate delivery on a standard chassis, you will also need:

• Length Clearance: 18.75m (61.5ft)
• Height Clearance: 4m (13ft)
• Width Clearance: 3.65m (12ft)
