20ft X 8ft New Shipping Container – Open-top

$2,600.00

We have a 20ft x 8ft pre-owned open-top shipping container available for purchase and global delivery. Unlike traditional shipping containers, open-top containers lack the typical steel corrugated roof.

Instead, they feature removable bows and a weatherproof tarpaulin that can be securely fastened with ropes. This streamlined design greatly simplifies the loading and unloading process, typically carried out by crane from above. Additionally, the door header can be swung around or removed to facilitate easy access for cargo.

Open-top containers are particularly well-suited for transporting machinery. These containers must be shipped with the bows and tarpaulin intact, providing structural support. If the machinery exceeds the height limitations, a flat rack container—lacking any roof—may be required. Lashing rings are included for securing the load during transport.
