Open Top Shipping Containers for Sale

 

Do you need a fast, cheap and easy way to transport large and bulky items like construction materials, machinery, and trucks? How about bulky store inventory items like furniture, large pallets of vegetable and other wide equipments that can't fit through the shipping container cargo doors?

If so, our open top shipping containers may be what you need to get the job done. Open top shipping containers are like regular ISO shipping containers but the steel roof panels are removed and replaced by either a soft top or a hard top roof. These types of containers allows you to load and unload your cargo quickly from the top instead of through the top.

Not only will you save time, money, and a whole lot of frustrations, but you'll also be ensuring that your cargo will be less likely damaged by trying to fit it through the cargo door.

Selecting the right container to fit your cargo needs will make or break your project. Therefore, it is important to take into consideration the following factors when making the decision.

 

 

The Best Open Top Shipping Containers

When choosing an open top shipping container, you need to prioritize quality because otherwise, you may end up with a faulty container that could damage your shipment.

When shopping around for open top containers, make sure to choose quality over quantity. Inspect the container throughly to make sure it is structurally sound before making any purchasing decisions because without the roof the cargo container is more vulnerable.

What Are Open Top Shipping Containers Used For?

Shipping containers with an open top can have multiple uses, but mainly, they are used in situations where it would be inconvenient or even impossible to load the cargo using the container cargo door.

One instance where an open top shipping container can be handy is when loading large or bulky items such as heavy-duty construction materials or equipment, logs, steel beams, or anything else that needs to be lifted using a crane.

Our clients find using an open top container handy when they need to transport heavy duty construction materials and equipments like lumber, steel beams and everything else that needs to be supported by a crane. When they can't miss or delay a shipment, they usually opt for open top shipping containers instead of wasting time trying to fit their cargo through standard swinging doors.

Another use for open top containers is loading and unloading minerals or grains that can be dumped from above, then covered instantly from the top. In our own yards, we often use the open top containers, to store scraps and other non-hazardous waste materials instead of traditional dumpsters. 

Most people only realize that they need an open top container when it's already too late. They waste so much time trying to fit oversized cargo into a standard ISO container which can damage the cargo and incur unnecessary additional expenses. We find that it's better to plan ahead and really think about which loading/unloading method would be more efficient.

With our huge selection of open top containers, you can be sure to find the perfect fit that meets your cargo requirements, size specifications, and any other needs you may have.
