Open Top Container

Open Top Containers are suitable for cargo that is more easily loaded from above or does not fit in a standard size dry cargo container, but still needs to benefit from the protection that the container sides provide, e.g. machinery.

The container doors and the roof bow are removable thus making the stuffing / stripping of the container easier.

The Open Top Container is covered by a tarpaulin and is TIR approved.
