40-foot Flat Rack Shipping Container Cargo-worthy
A 40-foot flat-rack shipping container is ISO certified. Flat rack containers are used for transporting cargo that is too large or heavy (out-of-gauge (OOG)) for a standard shipping container. The open sides and top allow for easy loading and unloading of oversized cargo, and collapsable ends reduce the required space for storage and usage as a platform.
Description
40-foot Flat Rack Shipping Container — Cargo-worthy
A 40-foot flat-rack shipping container is ISO certified. Flat rack containers are used for transporting cargo that is too large or heavy (out-of-gauge (OOG)) for a standard shipping container. The open sides and top allow for easy loading and unloading of oversized cargo. Collapsable ends reduce the required space for storage and usage as a platform.
Price range: $5,000–$5,500. Available in Premium Condition or Standard Condition. Bulk and wholesale pricing is available — call for multi-unit discounts. Inventory is limited and availability varies by location. Delivery is quoted separately based on your delivery location.
With their open tops, 40-foot flat-rack containers allow cargo to be top-loaded by crane, which can be faster and more efficient. The open sides can make loading cargo such as piping and timber very efficient. This flexibility can require less specialized handling equipment and less time, resulting in an efficient solution for shipping (out-of-gauge (OOG)) cargo.
40-foot flat-rack shipping containers can also support heavy loads of up to around 60,000 lbs. or more.
