40Ft X 8Ft Used Flat Rack Shipping Container

40ft x 8ft Used Flat Rack Shipping Container for Sale

A 40ft used flat rack shipping container hands you a full 40 feet of open deck for cargo that’s too large or too heavy for a conventional container. Available for sale and delivery Canada-wide, this used flat rack is built for hauliers and contractors who move machinery, long materials, and oversized loads that need to be lifted or slid on from the sides and top. With no sides at all, loading is completely unrestricted.

Collapsible Ends Save Space

Flat rack ends can be either fixed or collapsible. The collapsible option is especially valuable at 40ft length, because empty units fold down and stack together to take up far less space in the yard or on the return trip. That efficiency keeps your storage and repositioning costs down between jobs.

Secure Every Load

The unit includes lashing rings in the side rails, floors, and corner posts, giving you abundant tie-down points to secure cargo safely for transport. Units are available with and without forklift pockets, letting you choose the handling method that suits your equipment. The rack is plated for shipping and stacking when loaded.

Used flat racks deliver heavy-duty capability at a lower cost than new, with wear that’s cosmetic rather than structural. Before you commit, inspect the lashing rings and corner castings, check the marine ply floor, and confirm whether forklift pockets are required for your handling setup. A shorter 20ft flat rack is also available if you need less deck length.
