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.

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. 

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. 

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. 

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.
