Open top containers are containers that have a top loading facility designed for the transportation and storage of tall, heavy or awkward cargo. Open top containers have a removable tarpaulin which includes heavy duty eyelets. This allows loading or unloading through the roof aperture using overhead lifting equipment or through the door. The open top shipping container is supplied with TIR approved PVC tarpaulins. These are otherwise known as tilts with removable rear header to protect cargo since they are water and wind resistant.

The open top containers make loading bulky goods with a crane easy by loading the open top container from above. The open top containers come in different sizes that include 20ft open top containers and 40ft open top container available at cost effective prices. The actual roof aperture of an open top container is smaller than the internal dimensions of the container, due to protrusion of the top side rails. This is needed to support the roof bows and the stubs are necessary in supporting the header bar over the door. The containers also have attachable bow and sealing devices.

The floor of the open top shipping containers is made of hardwood or plywood. This is very helpful since they help diffuse odors and stains. The open top containers also have a number of cargo securing points in the floor or along the bottom side rail. This makes transporting cargo without banging against each other or moving around possible and ensures that cargo will not be damaged.
