40ft Flat Rack Container (Collapsible Ends)
A 40ft flat rack shipping container with collapsible end walls — an open steel platform for oversized, heavy, and irregularly shaped cargo that will not fit in a closed container. Load from the top or sides with cranes or forklifts.
Description
The open platform for oversized cargo.
Our 40ft flat rack container is the go-to solution for oversized, heavy, or irregularly shaped loads that will not fit in standard closed containers. With no side walls and no roof, you can load from the top or sides with a crane or forklift, and carry cargo that is wider or taller than the platform itself.
Built from solid Corten steel for corrosion resistance and strength, with a marine-grade timber floor that keeps cargo from slipping. The spring-folding end walls lock upright for transit and fold flat for compact stacking and empty repositioning. Stanchion sockets and lashing points on both sides secure your load, and a high-security lockbox is included.
- No side walls or roof — load from the top or sides
- Collapsible (folding) end walls for compact stacking when empty
- Solid Corten steel frame, marine-grade timber floor
- Stanchion sockets and lashing points on both sides
- Corner castings on all eight corners for ISO handling
- ISO certified design, built and tested
Common uses
- Trucks, construction equipment, and oversize machinery
- Pipes, steel beams, and long or irregular items
- Project cargo requiring crane access
- Temporary bridges or platforms on farms and job sites
Cargo is open to the elements — flat racks are not watertight. For weather-sensitive goods, pair with tarping or choose an enclosed container.

What Cargo Vault Customers Say
Ordered a 40ft high cube for our job site storage. Delivery was on time, the container was in perfect condition, and the team was professional throughout. Will definitely order again.

Needed a refrigerated reefer for our catering business. The unit arrived clean, cold, and fully functional. Cargo Vault knows containers inside and out.

Working with Cargo Vault on a container home project was fantastic. They understood our vision and delivered a high-quality build. Professional from quote to delivery.
