New 40-Foot Hard Top Container – Durable, Secure, and High-Capacity A new 40-foot Hard Top shipping container is engineered for transporting oversized, heavy, or irregularly shaped cargo that requires strong protection and flexible loading options.

Offering double the space of a 20-foot unit, this container is the perfect solution for high-volume logistics. Constructed from high-grade Corten steel, the container is designed to withstand harsh environments and provide long-term durability. ISO and CSC certification ensures full compliance with international shipping regulations, making it suitable for safe and efficient transport worldwide. Reinforced roof panels and multiple lashing points guarantee that cargo remains secure during transit. How a 40-Foot Hard Top Container Works A 40-foot Hard Top container features a removable steel roof that can be lifted by crane or forklift, enabling top-loading of large, heavy, or awkward cargo. Once loaded, the roof is reattached to provide maximum protection against weather and impacts.

When buying a container online, you can choose to have your container delivered with or without a crane.

With Crane

Your container will be delivered on a truck-mounted crane, allowing the driver to lift and position the container without additional offloading equipment.

To facilitate a truck-mounted crane delivery, you will need:

  • Length Clearance: 18.75m (61.5ft)
  • Height Clearance: 4m (13ft)
  • Width Clearance: 3.65m (12ft)

 

Without Crane (Standard Chassis)

If you select delivery without a crane, your container will be delivered on a flat chassis with no built-in offloading equipment. You will therefore be responsible for offloading the container yourself using the appropriate heavy-duty equipment.

To facilitate a delivery without a crane, you will also need:

  • Length Clearance: 18.75m (61.5ft)
  • Height Clearance: 4m (13ft)

To facilitate a side-loader delivery, you will need:

  • Length Clearance: 18.75m (61.5ft)
  • Height Clearance: 4m (13ft)
  • Width Clearance: 3.65m (12ft)

 

Standard Chassis

If you select delivery by standard chassis, you will be responsible for lifting and placing your shipping container on the ground with the appropriate heavy-duty equipment.

To facilitate delivery on a standard chassis, you will also need:

  • Length Clearance: 18.75m (61.5ft)
  • Height Clearance: 4m (13ft)
