20ft Open Top Shipping Container – Cargo-Worthy

Description

This 20-foot open top shipping container provides approximately 1,150 cubic feet of enclosed space. The unit features a removable tarpaulin roof that allows for crane loading of tall or oversized cargo not suitable for standard containers. The open top design accommodates items exceeding the standard door height .

This container is classified as cargo-worthy, indicating it meets requirements for active transport via sea, rail, or road, as well as ground-level storage applications. Construction consists of COR-TEN weathering steel with a reinforced base to support heavy payloads .

The double doors at one end open to the full width of the container for additional loading options. Lashing rings are integrated into the structure to secure tall or irregular loads during transport. The plywood floor provides a surface elevated above ground level suitable for various cargo types. Corner castings at each corner allow for lifting and transport by qualified equipment operators .
