40ft Used Flat Rack Container
The 40ft flat rack doubles the deck of the 20ft version to 11.65 m of clear, open platform with no side walls to restrict loading. It is the answer for long loads — structural steel, pipe runs, trusses, plant and vehicles — that cannot be broken down to fit through a container door and cannot be safely overhung on a shorter deck.
Load securing is built in rather than bolted on: lashing rings run through the side rails, the deck and the corner posts, so a long load can be restrained at multiple points along its length. The deck itself is 28 mm marine plywood on a steel frame, and collapsible-end units fold flat to stack when they are not in use.
Because the frame carries ISO corner castings, a used 40ft rack has a long second life beyond freight. Bridge decks, crane mats, working platforms and equipment skids are all common conversions, and the certified lifting points are already engineered in.

Deck Length, Handling and Related Options
At 11.65m of clear deck this rack takes plant, steel sections and vehicles that would never pass through a standard container door, and it is frequently repurposed as a bridge deck or working platform once its shipping life ends. For shorter loads the 20ft used flat rack is more manageable on site, while buyers needing new-condition frames should compare the 40ft new and used flat racks. Everything in this style is grouped under flat rack containers.
