Overview

20ft Open Top Shipping Container – One-Trip Unit.

The 20ft Open Top Shipping Container is the ideal solution for transporting and storing heavy, oversized, or irregularly shaped cargo.
This one-trip container (like-new, not used) has completed only a single journey from the factory, ensuring it’s clean, corrosion-free, and structurally pristine.

The open-top design features a removable roof system with durable steel bows and a weatherproof tarpaulin cover — allowing for easy crane loading and unloading from above. The removable or swing-out door header further simplifies access for tall or bulky goods. Built from marine-grade Corten steel, this container guarantees long-term strength and reliability in transport, storage, or conversion applications.
