The 20ft Open Top Container is a specialized shipping and storage solution designed specifically for cargo that is either too tall to fit in a standard unit or too heavy to be loaded through end doors. Instead of a fixed steel roof, this unit features a removable, heavy-duty tarpaulin supported by removable steel roof bows. This unique design allows for effortless top-loading via crane or overhead lifting equipment.
Built with high-strength CORTEN steel walls and a reinforced floor, the Open Top container provides the same structural integrity as a standard box while offering unparalleled loading flexibility. It is the industry standard for transporting large machinery, industrial pipes, logs, and bulky raw materials that require top-down placement.
Key Features:
- Top-Loading Access: Removable tarpaulin and “swing-out” rear header (lintel) allow for easy crane access and the loading of over-height cargo.
- Heavy-Duty Protection: Features a high-quality, weather-resistant PVC tarpaulin secured with a TIR-compliant locking cable to ensure your cargo remains dry and secure during transit.
- Structural Strength: Reinforced CORTEN steel side walls and heavy-duty marine-grade flooring designed to withstand high-density loads.
- Secure Lashing: Equipped with multiple high-strength internal lashing rings to ensure your heavy cargo is safely braced and tied down.
Technical Specifications:
- Dimensions: 20’L x 8’W x 8’6″H.
- Roof System: Removable steel roof bows with heavy-duty tarpaulin.
- Material: Corrosion-resistant CORTEN steel.
- Floor: Reinforced 1.1″ marine-grade plywood or steel options available.
Note: Because Open Top containers are often used for “Out-of-Gauge” cargo, please verify the total height of your shipment to ensure it meets bridge and tunnel clearance regulations for your specific transport route.
