Description
A 40 ft open top container is a dry cargo unit with a removable roof (tarpaulin and roof bows) that allows loading from above. It’s designed for cargo that’s oversized, heavy, or awkward to handle through standard doors, while still providing the protection and stacking strength of a standard container. Exact measurements can vary slightly by manufacturer.
Use case: ideal for overheight or top-loaded cargo such as machinery, pipes, steel products, timber, and project cargo that requires crane loading/unloading.
