20′ HC Open Top Container

20ft High Cube Open Top Container

Product Description

This used 20ft High Cube Open Top Container provides a flexible solution for transporting and storing oversized, tall, heavy, or difficult-to-load cargo. Available for sale with delivery throughout the USA, this specialized container is designed to simplify loading and unloading operations where traditional enclosed containers may not be suitable.

Unlike conventional shipping containers, an open top container does not feature a fixed corrugated steel roof. Instead, it is equipped with removable roof bows and a weatherproof tarpaulin cover that can be secured with ropes. This design allows cargo to be loaded and unloaded vertically using cranes or other lifting equipment.

The door header above the rear doors can also be swung open or removed, providing additional access for loading large or bulky cargo. Lashing rings are included to help secure cargo during transportation.

Key Features

• Removable Roof: Allows large or heavy cargo to be loaded and unloaded from above.
• Weatherproof Tarpaulin Cover: Provides protection from normal weather conditions while maintaining flexible top access.
• Removable Roof Bows: Support the tarpaulin and contribute to the structural integrity of the container.
• Removable Door Header: Can be swung open or removed to simplify loading and unloading.
• Integrated Lashing Rings: Allow cargo to be securely fastened during transportation.
• High Cube Design: Provides additional internal height compared with standard-height containers.
• USA-Wide Delivery Available: Suitable for commercial, industrial, and project cargo applications.

Detailed Description

Open top containers are particularly useful for cargo that cannot be easily loaded through standard container doors. The removable roof system provides unobstructed access from above, making the container suitable for crane loading of machinery, industrial equipment, construction materials, scrap materials, and other heavy or oversized items.

The container must be transported with the roof bows and tarpaulin installed, as these components contribute to the overall design and structural performance of the unit. The weatherproof tarpaulin provides a flexible cover while allowing the container to accommodate cargo that requires overhead loading.

For cargo that exceeds the height of the container and cannot be covered by the tarpaulin, a flat rack container may be more suitable, as flat racks provide an open platform without a roof structure.

Intended Applications

• Heavy machinery
• Construction equipment
• Industrial components
• Large or bulky cargo
• Scrap and waste materials
• Project cargo
• Equipment requiring crane loading
• Cargo that is difficult to load through standard container doors

Features

• Removable roof system
• Removable roof bows

Benefits

The removable roof allows large, heavy, or awkwardly shaped items to be loaded and unloaded by crane from above. This significantly simplifies cargo handling compared with standard enclosed shipping containers.
