20ft Hard Open Top Shipping Container – Heavy-Duty Top-Loading Versatility
The 20ft Hard Open Top Shipping Container is the premier solution for cargo that defies standard loading dimensions. Engineered for industries that require vertical clearance and overhead crane access, this unit features a fully removable steel roof, combining the loading ease of an open top with the rugged security of a traditional dry van.
Constructed from CORTEN anti-corrosive steel, this container is specifically designed for transporting heavy machinery, tall equipment, and bulk industrial materials that cannot be loaded through standard end doors.
The Hard Top Advantage
-
Overhead Loading Access: The removable steel roof and detachable rear door header allow for seamless crane and gantry operations.
-
Superior Protection: Unlike “Soft Top” versions that use tarps, the hard steel roof provides maximum protection against theft, debris, and extreme weather.
-
Structural Integrity: Built to maintain high-payload capacity while supporting irregular or top-heavy freight.
Key Features
-
Removable Steel Roof: Easy to lift and lock, allowing for quick conversion between an open-top and a fully enclosed unit.
-
Detachable Door Header: The top bar above the doors swings out or removes completely to allow for high-clearance items to be slid in or lifted.
-
CORTEN Steel Build: Marine-grade, weather-resistant steel ensures a long service life in the harshest maritime or construction environments.
-
CSC Certified: Fully compliant with ISO standards for international shipping, rail, and intermodal transport.
