Special Containers

20' Open Top Container and 40' Open Top Container

Open top containers are especially suitable for transporting overheight cargo, i.e. cargo taller than 2.54m (8'5"). They are available in two sizes: 20' and 40'. Cargo can be loaded by crane from the top-side. Overheight cargo can also be loaded from the door-side since the door header can be swung open.

Numerous lashing rings are available on the four corner posts, top-side rails and bottom-side rails for securing the cargo. If the cargo needs to be protected from rain, tarpaulin sheets can be provided to cover the top of the container. Forklift pockets* are available on many 20' open top containers. Gooseneck tunnels* are available on most 40' open top containers.

Commodities commonly shipped in the open top container include machinery, industrial boilers, tractors, steel pipes, steel bars and cables.

20' Collapsible Flat Rack Container and 40' Collapsible Flat Rack Container

Although flat rack containers are primarily meant for overwidth (width greater than 2.35m or 7’8”) and heavyweight cargo, both overwidth and overheight cargo can be loaded on flat rack containers due to its open construction. The specially reinforced bottom construction can sustain the high pressure of heavyweight cargo. Numerous high load capacity lashing rings are installed on the corner posts, top-side rails and bottom-side rails for lashing and bracing of the cargo.

Commodities commonly shipped in the flat rack container include machinery, industrial boilers, tractors, parts packed in cases, steel tubes, steel pipes, steel bars and cables.
