Pelican Containers offers 20ft flat rack containers for sale to store and transport oversized cargo.
Sturdy, solid 20ft flat rack containers from Pelican Containers, made from Corten steel, can handle heavy loads, including oversized cargo, and allow for top and side loading.
20 flat rack containers don’t have a roof or sides, which makes it effortless to handle large cargo with a loading winch or crane. You never have to worry about cargo being too tall or wide — 20′ flat rack containers can accommodate more than the actual 20 flat rack dimensions suggest.
Our 20-foot flat rack shipping containers are quality-tested to make sure they perform at their best. They are great for carrying tractors, machinery, and construction equipment. With a base and walls constructed from solid Corten steel, these units are light yet as strong as traditional construction metal.
20′ flat rack containers are also equipped with solid marine-grade timber floors which keep your cargo from slipping during transport. The collapsible front and end walls allow you to stack multiple containers and fold them up when they’re not in use or while transporting back.
Each flat rack 20ft container also has multiple lashing points to secure your cargo and a high-security lockbox for added protection.
Ready to ship across the USA, the Philippines, and India, our new and used 20′ flat rack containers for sale are in stock, and eager to start their journey with you.
As for the price? That depends on whether you choose to buy new or used and the quality of the container, but all our prices are competitive. Just request a quote directly from us to get an accurate price and let our specialists help you find the perfect 20ft flat rack shipping container.
You’ve got the choice between brand spanking new 20ft flat rack containers and those with a bit of experience under their belt — our used containers:
- if you prefer a brand-new 20-foot flat rack container, you’ll be getting a top-of-the-line unit that meets all industry standards;
- but if you’re more about the savings, a used flat rack 20ft container could be your perfect match. You’ll still get a reliable solution but at a fraction of the cost.
Both of them are built to handle heavy lifting when it comes to oversized cargo.

- heading inside, a container has a width of 6.4 feet, a length of about 19 feet, and a height of 7.5 feet;

Once you’ve ordered your 20′ flat rack container for sale, our team prepares a tilt-bed truck for delivery. When we arrive at your location, the truck bed is tilted, and the container slides off the bed onto your site. You’ll need to ensure you’ve got enough space for this to happen smoothly — around 100 feet of straight clearance for a 20ft container. To prepare the area, you can read delivery guidelines on our website or ask for our assistance.
Whether you’re after a brand new container or one that’s gently used, your thoroughly inspected container will be delivered to your place in most of the States, the Philippines, and India. To learn more, visit our website and reach out to our friendly experts.

DetailedHow is this container delivered?
Tilt tray delivers a container off the back of the truck. Similar to a tow truck, the tray is mechanically lowered at an angle, and the container is slid off, with the truck moving forward at slow speed. This is the most common delivery method used for containers. Tilt trays are not suitable for sites with overhead power lines as the container height increases significantly when tilted.
Side loaders are used to transport our 20 foot and 40 foot shipping containers. This is the best delivery method for containers at sites that have limited space either in front or behind the area where the container is to be positioned. The container is unloaded between the two outrigger feet of the side loader, approximately half a metre from the side of the truck.
Hiab cranes lift containers from a mechanism located behind the truck’s cabin. This is used when there is limited space for a side loader or tilt tray. Using a crane means the container is easily positioned at an angle or up on a raised area. It can also be used to place containers over a fence or other obstacles.
