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.

Pick-Up

A member of our team will reach out to coordinate your pick-up. With this option, you are responsible for ensuring you have a suitable vehicle and the proper equipment to safely offload your container on your property.

 

Tilt-Bed Delivery

If you select tilt-bed delivery, your shipping container will be delivered on a tilt-bed trailer. This is a specialized piece of equipment that is towed by either a hot shot truck or standard truck cab. Then, the front of the bed is raised so the container slides safely to the ground as the driver slowly drives forward.

To facilitate delivery on a tilt-bed trailer, you will need:

  • Length Clearance: 100ft (30.5m)
  • Height Clearance: 15ft (4.5m)*
  • Width Clearance: 12ft (3.65m)

 

Note: Any low-hanging wires at the drop-site must be at least 18ft off the ground for the trailer to tilt safely.

 

To learn more about these delivery methods, consult our shipping container delivery guide.
