Technical Specification: 20ft Open Top Shipping Container
Model: 20' Standard Open Top (Removable Tarpaulin)
1. Product Overview
The 20ft Open Top container is engineered specifically for the transport and storage of oversized, heavy, or awkward cargo. Unlike standard dry containers with a fixed steel roof, the Open Top model features a removable roof system consisting of galvanized steel rafters (bows) and a heavy-duty, weather-proof tarpaulin (Tir).
At Worthy Container, we provide these units to industries requiring top-loading capabilities via overhead cranes or for cargo that exceeds the height of a standard container. This design allows for "over-height" cargo to be transported securely while remaining protected from the elements.
