New 20ft Collapsible Flat Rack Container – Green
This new 20ft flat rack container starts its working life with zero fatigue history — and on a flat rack, that is the entire purchase. Racks live on their structure: the deck, the bottom rail, the folding ends, and the welds holding them together. A new unit carries all of it at full original rating, with unworn deck timbers and uncracked welds. Consequently, operators who lift and load week in, week out buy new and stop thinking about the frame.
Why Fatigue History Matters
Every crane lift, and every point load, cycles stress through a rack’s welds. Used units carry an unknown count of those cycles; a new one carries none. Export surveyors, hire fleets, and repeat interstate plant movers price that certainty into every job — a rack that fails survey mid-contract costs far more than the purchase gap. For occasional lifts, the used structurally inspected rack in the range remains the value route.
Collapsible Ends — Two Tools in One
With the end walls raised, the rack ships and lifts as a standard 20ft unit. Fold them flush, and it becomes a flat platform — a ground-level loading deck or a base for oversized cargo. Furthermore, empty racks stack flat on each other, so several travel in the space of one and store the same way in the yard.
Key Features
- Extra-thick bottom rail and base — engineered for heavy point loads
- Collapsible end walls — fold flush to form a platform
- Unworn deck at full original rating
- Lashing points along both side rails for load restraint
- Fork pockets for empty lifting and repositioning
- Empty racks stack flat for economical transport and storage
