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

Wide Selection and Fast Delivery

We stock open-top containers in 20ft and 40ft sizes at multiple depots across the UK. Our extensive inventory and nationwide delivery service allow us to supply containers quickly and efficiently, regardless of your project location.
