I. Main Features

Open Top Design

The defining feature of open top containers is their flexible top, which can be opened. This makes them ideal for transporting tall or heavy items that need to be lifted into place, such as glass panels, machinery, and industrial equipment.

Water tightness

Although the top is open, these containers are equipped with a tarpaulin covering during shipment, ensuring the same level of water tightness as standard dry containers.

High Load-Bearing Capacity

Designed to handle large or heavy cargo, 45ft open top containers are constructed from high-strength materials to ensure excellent durability and load capacity.

Flexibility

The foldable top beam and tarpaulin allow for flexible opening and closing, making loading and unloading easier for oversized or irregularly shaped cargo.

II. Application Scenarios

Industrial Equipment: Ideal for transporting large machinery or equipment that cannot fit through standard container doors.
