20ft Open Top Shipping Container (New Build / Single-Trip)

The 20ft Open Top Shipping Container is the industry standard for transporting over-height, bulky, or extra-heavy industrial equipment that cannot be conveniently loaded through end doors. Offering a full 20-foot open roof span, this container enables direct top-loading via overhead gantry cranes, boom cranes, or crab hoists, making it vital for construction sites, heavy machinery transport, mining projects, and manufacturing logistics.Constructed brand new (single-trip condition) from high-tensile corrugated Corten steel, this unit includes a heavy-duty, waterproof PVC tarpaulin cover (tarp) supported by removable galvanized steel roof bows. The roof bows lock into the top side rails to prevent water pooling and maintain structural frame rigidity during sea transport. To ensure seamless horizontal loading of large machinery, the unit features a swing-out rear door header bar that opens alongside the double end doors, completely eliminating doorway headroom restrictions. Complete with a 28mm marine-grade plywood floor, factory-welded lockbox, and multiple internal lashing rings, it provides maximum cargo security and weather protection.Key Features & Technical Specifications1.
