Open top shipping container 40 feet (12m)

Ce 40 foot open top container has a large opening on its roof, often in the form of a tarpaulin, which facilitates the loading and storage of long goods or equipment.

It exists in two versions: 

  • The open top container which has a removable tarpaulin on the upper part, usable for protecting goods against bad weather. The tarpaulin can be completely removed from the roof to facilitate loading.
  • The 40 foot Hard Top container whose roof can be completely removed like the tarpaulin. The hard top is a corten steel structure that can be completely removed from the upper part in order to provide wide access through the roof. It protects against bad weather but also the goods to reduce the risk of damage.

The open top storage container with opening in the high position is sought after for transport, storage of goods or as a temporary storage area.
