Open top containers do not have the conventional steel corrugated container roof. Instead they have removable bows and a weatherproof tarpaulin which can be secured with ropes. This significantly simplifies the loading and unloading process which is usually done by crane from above. The door header (above the door) can also be swung round / removed to allow easy access for the cargo.

Open top containers are ideal for the movement of machinery. The container must be shipped with the bows and tarpaulin which also provide some strength. If the machinery is over height then usually you will need to use a flat rack container which has no roof at all. Lashing rings are provided for securing the load during transport.

A 20ft open top shipping container represents a versatile and practical solution for handling and transporting oversized or bulkier cargo. Unlike standard containers, the open top design allows for easy loading and unloading of goods that may not fit through the traditional side doors. This feature is particularly advantageous for transporting machinery, construction materials, or other large items that require top access.

This adaptability makes the 20ft open top container ideal for industries such as construction, agriculture, and manufacturing, where it can be used for everything from bulk material shipping to on-site storage. Additionally, the container’s compliance with international standards, such as ISO and CSC certification, guarantees its reliability and safety.
