The 20ft Open Top Shipping Container – One-Trip Unit is the ideal solution for
transporting and storing heavy, oversized, or irregularly shaped cargo that cannot be loaded through
standard container doors. Designed for crane access and vertical loading, this container offers maximum
flexibility for industrial, construction, and logistics applications.
As a one-trip container, this unit has completed only a single journey from the factory,
ensuring it arrives in like-new condition. The interior is clean, corrosion-free, and structurally
pristine, making it a superior alternative to heavily used open top containers.
Open-Top Design for Crane Loading & Oversized Cargo
Unlike standard containers, this open-top model is equipped with a removable roof system
that includes durable steel support bows and a heavy-duty, weatherproof tarpaulin cover. This design
allows cargo to be loaded directly from above using a crane, gantry, or overhead lifting equipment.
The container also features a removable or swing-out door header, providing additional
clearance at the door opening. This makes it easy to load tall machinery, steel components, pipes, and
bulky materials that exceed standard door height.
One-Trip Condition – Clean, Certified & Built to Last
This container is classified as one-trip, meaning it has not been used for repeated
shipping cycles. As a result, it offers excellent structural integrity, a clean interior, and minimal
cosmetic wear. The container is fully wind- and watertight and meets international shipping and safety
standards.
Manufactured from marine-grade Corten (COR-TEN) steel, the container is engineered to
resist corrosion and withstand harsh weather, making it suitable for long-term use in demanding
environments.
Heavy-Duty Construction & Secure Cargo Handling
Designed for strength and reliability, the 20ft open top container includes a reinforced steel frame
and a heavy-duty base structure to support substantial loads. Inside, integrated lashing rings
provide secure tie-down points, helping prevent cargo movement during transport.
The floor is constructed from 28mm marine-grade plywood, supported by steel cross members.
This robust flooring system is designed to handle heavy machinery, industrial components, and dense cargo
without compromise.
