Open Top Container

Removable tarpaulin roof and swing-out door header for cargo that will not go through a door.

Gantry cranes over stacked 20FT and 40FT shipping containers at a port container terminal

Overview

An open top replaces the fixed steel roof with a removable tarpaulin over roof bows, so cargo can be craned in from above. The door header swings out for over-length loads. Standard for machinery, glass, timber and any cargo that exceeds door height.

Buying notes

  • Grade drives price. Ask for Wind & Watertight if the unit will stay on the ground, and Cargo Worthy only if it needs to ship again.
  • Delivery is quoted separately by distance and access. Tell us whether your site can take a side-loader or needs a crane.
  • For quantities above five units, ask about depot-collection pricing — it is usually the cheapest route.
