Used 40-Foot Flat Rack Container – Robust, Flexible, and Cost-Effective
A used 40-foot Flat Rack shipping container is the ideal solution for transporting oversized cargo that cannot fit into standard containers. Its open design with foldable end walls allows for flexible handling and optimal access to your goods.

Constructed from durable Corten steel and fully ISO and CSC certified, the container ensures secure transport worldwide. The numerous lashing points on corner posts, side beams, and the floor allow for safe cargo securing with straps, chains, or nets.

How a Flat Rack Container Works
A Flat Rack container is an open-frame container with no side walls or roof, featuring either fixed or foldable end walls. This design allows for top-loading or side-loading of heavy and oversized cargo, such as construction machinery, steel pipes, or large equipment.

Once loaded, cargo is secured using straps or chains attached to the designated lashing points, ensuring safe transport under extreme weather conditions and long distances.

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 40-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.

Pick-Up

A member of our team will reach out to coordinate your pick-up. With this option, you are responsible for ensuring you have a suitable vehicle and the proper equipment to safely offload your container on your property.

Tilt-Bed Delivery

If you select tilt-bed delivery, your shipping container will be delivered on a tilt-bed trailer. This is a specialized piece of equipment that is towed by either a hot shot truck or standard truck cab. Then, the front of the bed is raised so the container slides safely to the ground as the driver slowly drives forward.

To facilitate delivery on a tilt-bed trailer, you will need:

• Length Clearance: 100ft (30.5m)
• Height Clearance: 15ft (4.5m)*
• Width Clearance: 12ft (3.65m)

Note: Any low-hanging wires at the drop-site must be at least 18ft off the ground for the trailer to tilt safely.
