A platform shipping container is a type of cargo container that is primarily used for transporting oversized or bulky goods that cannot be accommodated within the standard dimensions of a regular shipping container. It is an open-top container with no roof or walls and has a flat base with a reinforced structure to support heavy loads.
Since 2014 federal agencies are required to buy security containers using National Stock Numbers in GSA Global Supply via requisition. All items are FOB origin, freight prepaid. This means you will need to pay additional shipping charges for delivery of these items. Do not order containers directly from vendors.
