40ft Flat Rack Shipping Containers
The 40ft Flat Rack Collapsible End Shipping Container is a heavy-duty steel platform with two reinforced end walls and a 12-metre floor, sized to match a 40ft Standard Shipping Container. The container is rated to carry a maximum payload of 25,000kg, which makes the 40ft Flat Rack Container great for oversized machinery, long industrial components, and any load that has to sit on an open deck rather than inside four walls.
The end walls hold the ISO corner castings for lifting and stacking, and the lashing rings for tying cargo down at each end.
Container Traders supplies New Build and Cargo Worthy 40ft Flat Rack Shipping Containers Australia-wide, with up to 5 years of rail and shipping certification on New Build Containers.
