They are available in versions OT (OpenTop) with a soft top and HT (HardTop) with a hard top. The majority of them has soft canvas or synthetic material of the roof.

Advantages of containers with soft roof

The main advantage of OPEN TOP container is ability to transport equipment with dimensions exceeding the height of the walls in it. A new 40-ton OT container allow using its maximum volume, as in the standard container the size of a doorway is always less than the internal dimensions.

To buy a new 40-foot OPEN TOP container or rent is possible for multimodal transportation of cargoes greater than the height of the container. The cargo will be taken for transportation as the length, width and arrangement of fittings meet the requirements of ISO standards. This will allow fixing it on the board of the ship, platform or railway car.

Often new 40-foot OPEN TOP containers on request are made without doors, allowing it to be used for the carriage of bulk cargoes, such as grain or long length metal-roll.

Peculiarities of application of containers with soft roof

Back side of easy loading with a crane and transportation of oversized cargo is a significant reduction in its ability to withstand external factors during transportation.

The cost of 40-foot OPEN TOP container significantly depends on its design features. Depending on appointment, the containers can be produced with increased height or halved, comparing to standard. They can be with one, two end doors or without any. It is very convenient that you can order the container with soft roof for the transportation of any specific cargo, which shipping in multimodal containers of other types is difficult or impossible.
