The 40 ft open top standard container
The 40 ft open top container is one of the open top containers from our portfolio.
- The container’s roof is a sturdy tarpaulin that is held by removable crossbars and straps.
- Opening the top all the way allows you to load the container from above using a crane or trolley. The 40 ft open top container can also be used for bulk goods.
- In many models the crossbar above the door is pivotable to make loading even easier.
- The double doors can be shut with locking rods.
- The handles are placed high to simplify frequent opening and closing.
- The 40 ft open top container also comes with a lockbox to protect it against unauthorized access. The lockbox can be equipped with a special lock that’s even harder to break than conventional padlocks. For easier transport, the container is outfitted with forklift pockets.
