Product Description

20FT Used Flat Rack Shipping Container

Purpose-Built for Oversized Loads. Engineered for Strength.

The 20FT Used Flat Rack Shipping Container is built for transporting and storing over-gauge or irregular cargo that simply won’t fit inside a traditional container. With no roof or side walls, it provides unrestricted access from the top and sides — making it the go-to solution for loading with cranes, forklifts, or other heavy equipment.

Constructed from CORTEN anti-corrosive steel and built to meet CSC standards, this flat rack container is designed for industries requiring secure, heavy-duty, and weather-resilient equipment transport. Available with fixed-end or collapsible-end configurations.

Key Features

  • Structure: CORTEN anti-corrosive high-tensile steel
  • Flooring: 28mm marine-grade solid plank plywood
  • End Walls: Choice of fixed or collapsible ends (based on availability)
  • Handling Access: Integrated forklift pockets
  • Condition: Cargo Worthy – minor dents or surface rust expected
  • Certification: CSC compliant – pre-dispatch inspected and ready for international or domestic use
  • Service Life: Approx. 10–14 years in circulation

Dimensions & Capacity

Specification Measurement
External Dimensions (L×W×H) 20’ × 8’ × 8’6”
Internal Dimensions (L×W×H) 18’6” × 7’4” × 7’4”
Tare Weight 6,370 lbs
Payload Capacity 68,580 lbs

Note: Dimensions may vary slightly between fixed-end and collapsible-end versions.

Structural Highlights

  • Open-access configuration supports loading from all directions
  • Fixed-end walls provide greater rigidity for securing tall or off-center loads
  • Collapsible-end models offer stacking flexibility for return or storage logistics
  • Plywood deck engineered to withstand uneven loads, tracked equipment, and impact from industrial machinery
  • Intermodal-ready design with corner blocks for secure stacking, chaining, or tie-down during transport

Every container is thoroughly inspected to ensure compliance with CSC certification standards, and all tie-down points are validated for safe cargo lashing.

Best Use Applications

Heavy Machinery & Equipment

Suitable for loading engine blocks, industrial compressors, generators, and mining equipment.

Long & Overlength Cargo

Handles bundles of pipes, steel beams, utility poles, or any cargo that exceeds the width or height of enclosed containers.

Skid-Mounted Units

Ideal base for transporting mobile pumps, portable generators, and process skids for chemical or energy sectors.

Vehicle Shipping

Enables transport of track-driven, chassis-mounted, or irregular-profile vehicles that won’t clear roofed containers.

Agricultural Implements

Provides temporary or long-haul staging for irrigation systems, plow assemblies, and oversized components.

Inspection & Compliance Standards

Each container undergoes pre-dispatch inspection to ensure:

  • Structural frame integrity and weld quality
  • Deck surface condition for heavy or uneven cargo
  • Forklift pocket access and clearances
  • End-wall operability for collapsible units
  • Tie-down points confirmed and rust-resistant

All units are CSC certified, making them suitable for global transport, intermodal systems, or permanent site-based deployment.

Delivery Requirements

  • Processing: 1–3 business days after payment, verification, and receipt of required information.
  • Delivery estimate: 5–10 business days after processing.
  • Site access: tilt-bed delivery of a 20ft container needs a straight, firm approach (roughly 60 feet), 12–14 feet of width, and clear overhead access free of wires and branches.
  • Unloading: tilt-bed standard; flatbed, crane, or chassis options are quoted based on your site.
  • Complex sites are switched to quotation mode so transportation can be planned correctly — request a delivered price.
