The Advantages of Open-Top Containers
Open-top containers feature removable tarpaulin covers, enabling the easy loading of cargo that can't be handled through the doors of a standard container. They’re ideal for tall items that are irregularly shaped or require crane lifting.
Perfect for industrial, agricultural, or construction use, these containers are commonly used for:
- Machinery
- Boilers
- Farm Equipment
- Pipes
- Cables
- Large or heavy goods
