Frequently asked questions
What is a 20ft open top container best used for?
It loads from above with a crane, so it suits tall or oversized cargo, machinery, and bulk materials that will not fit through standard end doors. Construction and project sites use it for awkward loads.
How does an open top container work?
A removable tarpaulin over a steel bow frame replaces the solid roof, so you can crane cargo straight in from the top. The end doors still open for ground-level loading when that is easier.
What size is it and what fits?
It is 20ft long and 8ft wide, holding about 10 to 11 pallets on the floor, with open top clearance for items taller than a standard door opening. It suits cargo a closed box cannot take.
What does used condition mean for this open top?
This is a used, cargo-worthy unit, wind- and watertight with surface wear, supplied with its tarpaulin and bows. Every unit is inspected and graded before delivery.
How is it delivered and sited?
A tilt-bed (roll-off) truck slides it off at ground level, so no crane or forklift is needed to set it down. We check site access first, and a heavy or wide load may need a crane.
