They offer superior security and protection for tall, bulky, and irregularly-shaped cargo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open top containers are typically used for shipping cargo that is too large or tall to fit inside a standard container, such as heavy machinery, vehicles, and construction materials. They are often used in industries such as construction, mining, and agriculture, as well as for shipping oversized cargo such as machinery, vehicles, and building materials.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read this article until the end to acknowledge a practical list of items commonly shipped in open top containers!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Open Top Container Specification<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2058 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradecorp-usa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20-dnv-open-top-container-768x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tradecorp-usa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20-dnv-open-top-container-768x1024.png 768w, https:\/\/www.tradecorp-usa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20-dnv-open-top-container-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/www.tradecorp-usa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20-dnv-open-top-container-1152x1536.png 1152w, https:\/\/www.tradecorp-usa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20-dnv-open-top-container.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open-top containers are available in various sizes, from 20\u2019,40\u2019, to 40\u2019 high cube. They are made of Corten steel and are designed to be durable, stackable, and secure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A 20\u2019 open top unit can be used to store and transport bulk grain, machinery, and construction supplies. The dimensions are L 20 \u2018x W 8\u2019 x H 8.6\u2019 with 5,180 lbs Tare weight, 62,016 Max payload, and 67,990 lbs Max cargo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, a 40\u2019 open top container is twice as long as a 20\u2019 open-top container, offering larger cubic supplies, pipes of varying sizes, cable spools, and bulky machinery parts. The 40\u2019 open top container dimensions are L 40\u2019 x W 8\u2019 x H 8 \u2018 6\u2019 with volume 2.33 <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/cu.ft\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cu.ft<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Tare weight<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8,400 lbs, Max payload 63,250 lbs, and Max cargo 71,650 lbs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are 2 types of removable tops for this container: the hard top and the soft top. A hard-top container has a solid roof made of steel or aluminum that is more durable and provides better protection for the cargo inside. They are often used for outdoor storage of tools, equipment, and other valuable items, as they protect from theft, tampering, and the elements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A soft top container, on the other hand, has a flexible roof made of tarpaulin or canvas, which is supported by a steel frame. These containers are ideal for transporting large, bulky, or oversized items that cannot fit into a standard hard-top container. Soft-top containers are also easier to load and unload, as they can be opened from the sides or top. They are also lighter in weight, making them more economical to transport.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The List of Goods that Open Top Containers Can Carry<\/b><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4367\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4367\" style=\"width: 1014px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4367 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradecorp-usa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/excavator-digging-ground-day-light-1.jpg\" alt=\"Excavator in the mining area\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tradecorp-usa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/excavator-digging-ground-day-light-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tradecorp-usa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/excavator-digging-ground-day-light-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tradecorp-usa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/excavator-digging-ground-day-light-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4367\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Excavator in the mining area<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><b>1. Heavy Machinery &amp; Industrial Equipment<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using an open top container to transport Heavy Machinery &amp; Industrial Equipment is a common and practical solution when the cargo is too tall, too bulky, or too heavy to load through standard container doors. This includes excavators, bulldozers, loaders, generators, turbines, and oil &amp; gas equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They can also accommodate equipment that has irregular shapes or non-removable attachments.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Oversized Construction Materials<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Steel beams, pipes, girders, large prefabricated components, and long-length lumber are ideally transported with open top containers. This type of container is ideal when machinery requires top loading using a crane or when the cargo\u2019s dimensions exceed the door opening.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Mining &amp; Quarrying Equipment<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mining and quarrying machinery is often bulky, tall, irregularly shaped, and extremely heavy. This makes a standard container difficult to load.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, an open top container allows vertical loading and offers extra height clearance after the roof is removed. This is essential for very heavy equipment requiring crane loading and machinery that cannot be maneuvered through side doors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, mining equipment often exceeds the height of a standard 8.6\u2019 or even a high-cube 9\u20196\u201d door. The open top containers solve this by removing the roof bow and tarpaulin, and allowing upward clearance during loading.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Large or Bulky Manufactured Goods<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Large or bulky manufactured goods like wind turbine parts, industrial tanks or boilers, large engines, and large vehicle components will be safe if transported with an open top container.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Marble, Granite, and Other Stone Blocks<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using an open top container to transport marble, granite, and other stone blocks is a common logistics solution. These materials are dense, bulky, and often require vertical lifting, making open top container a preferred choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stone blocks and slabs are extremely heavy, so vertical loading with cranes is the safest and most efficient method. Open top containers allow direct crane lifting of blocks, easier placement, and no need to fit through container doors.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Vehicles (Special Cases)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open top containers are used primarily when vehicles are too tall or shaped irregularly for standard containers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>7. Agricultural and Forestry Equipment<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most large farming and forestry machines must be lifted with cranes due to their heavy weight, large tires, tall shapes, and non-removable attachments. Open top containers allow equipment to be lowered from above safely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the roof bows and tarpaulin are removed, the container provides extra vertical clearance, making it easier to load tall machines. Moreover, the reinforced steel floor and walls can support high load weights and equipment with concentrated pressure points.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>8. Items Requiring Top Loading Due to Shape or Weight<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anything that cannot be loaded through container doors, such as large crates, oversized packaging, and machinery with non-removable protrusions, can be loaded into the open top containers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Open Top Container Recommendations<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1903 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradecorp-usa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/20ft-Soft-Top-Open-Top-Right-Side.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tradecorp-usa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/20ft-Soft-Top-Open-Top-Right-Side.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.tradecorp-usa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/20ft-Soft-Top-Open-Top-Right-Side-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tradecorp-usa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/20ft-Soft-Top-Open-Top-Right-Side-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>20&#8242; Open Top Containers<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tradecorp has a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradecorp-usa.com\/products\/open-top-containers\/20-open-top-container\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">20\u2032 Open Top Container<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that is equipped with a standard door feature on the rear of the unit to facilitate the loading process of goods.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are 4 locking bars on the door so that the goods or cargo inside remain safe during the shipping process.
