Open top containers
Open top containers in 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high cube: new or used, standard or custom-built in our own workshop in Rotterdam-Botlek.
OPEN TOP CONTAINER
Loading from above, also for cargo that does not fit through the door
An open top container does not have a fixed steel roof, but a removable cover over removable roof beams. This allows you to load from above with a crane, or through the doors as you are used to. In many versions, the roof beam above the doors is also removable, allowing long loads to be loaded horizontally inwards.
That makes the open top container (also called an open top container) the standard choice for machines, building materials, scrap, waste and oversized cargo. RCC supplies them in 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high cube, new (A-grade) or used (B-grade). We have standard open top containers in stock; if you want something different, we can build a closed container for you in our workshop.

We do this using new and used containers in the sizes 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high cube. We can spray the container completely or partially in the color you want, upon request.

Prefix as desired
Would you like to have the prefix (container code) adjusted? We can arrange that, so that the container is immediately recognizable as part of your own fleet.

Every rebuild comes with a new, sturdy tarpaulin cover. This protects your cargo from the weather and wind, and will last for years.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Open Top Container?
An open top container is a type of sea container designed for cargo that cannot be easily loaded through standard doors due to its height or shape. The container has a removable roof, usually made of tarpaulin, allowing loading and unloading from above.
Can RCC adjust the dimensions of an Open Top Container?
Yes, RCC can customize the dimensions of open top containers to meet your specific needs. We offer custom-built rebuilds to ensure the container meets your cargo or project requirements.
How long does the rebuild process take?
The timeline for a rebuild varies depending on the complexity of the project and the specific adjustments that are required. Typically, rebuilds take between 4 and 8 weeks, from consultation to delivery.
What materials are used in the rebuild?
We use high-quality, durable materials to ensure that the repurposed container is resistant to intensive use and harsh conditions. This includes reinforced steel, custom-made fittings, and weather-resistant coatings.
