40ft Open Top Shipping Containers
40ft Open Top Shipping Container (Standard / High Cube) Designed for heavy, bulky, or over-height cargo that cannot be loaded through standard rear doors, this 40-foot open top container features a removable heavy-duty PVC tarpaulin roof supported by detachable steel roof bows. Built from rugged Corten (weathering) steel with marine-grade plywood flooring, it allows effortless top-loading via overhead crane or gantry. Equipped with a swinging/removable rear header bar above the double doors, multiple internal lashing rings, and ISO-compliant corner castings for intermodal transport (rail, sea, and road).
- Ideal Applications:
- Top-Loading Without Forklifts: Heavy machinery, generators, engines, and industrial equipment lowered directly from above via overhead crane.
- Over-Height / Out-of-Gauge Cargo (Without Tarp): Tall structural steel, turbines, oversized crates, or agricultural equipment exceeding standard internal height limits when shipped uncovered.
- Bulk & Long Materials: Timber logs, steel coils, rebar, piping, and scrap metal loaded quickly from the top without maneuvering through narrow end doors.
- On-Site Construction & Storage: Secure yard storage where large materials need to be craned in and out regularly.
