New 40-Foot Open Top Container – Flexible, Durable, and Versatile
A new 40-foot Open Top shipping container is specifically designed for oversized or irregular cargo that cannot be loaded through conventional container doors. Its removable tarpaulin roof allows for top-loading with cranes or forklifts, making it ideal for machinery, bulk goods, or construction materials.
Built from premium Corten steel, the container offers excellent durability, weather resistance, and security. Fully ISO and CSC certified, it meets all international shipping standards. The container also features foldable end walls and internal lashing points for secure cargo transport.
How a 40-Foot Open Top Container Works
The Open Top design includes a tarpaulin roof supported by removable bows, which can be secured with ropes or cables. This allows for easy top-loading of tall or bulky items. Once loaded, cargo is fastened using lashing rings inside the container, ensuring safe transport.
What does “new container” mean?
A “new” shipping container is a so-called one-trip container – it has only been used once for transport from the factory to its first destination. This ensures minimal wear and tear, perfect condition, and the highest standards of durability and longevity compared to used containers.

For any products under 40ft long:
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)
- Width Clearance: 3.65m (12ft)

When buying a container online, you can choose to have your container delivered by side-loader or standard chassis.
With a Side-Loader
Your container will be delivered on a specialized truck called a side-loader (sometimes also known as a side-lifter). This vehicle has hydraulic arms that lift the container off the trailer and set it down beside the truck.
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)
- Width Clearance: 3.65m (12ft)
