Governed by ISO 668 (series-1 external dimensions, flat-rack envelope) and ISO 1496-5 (platform/flat-rack containers). Figures are drawn from the Blue Water Shipping container specification toolbox. Flat-rack payload ratings vary widely, from around 27 t on general-purpose units to 40 t+ on heavy-duty ones, so confirm the specific unit's CSC plate before quoting.
