Open Top Container FAQs
What are common uses for open top shipping containers?
Open top containers are very similar to typical 20- and 40 -foot shipping containers, but replace a typical solid roof with a
tarp. This still keeps freight protected and dry, but provides extra flexibility for top-loading and transporting oversized or abnormally shaped cargo such as…
- Timber
Construction supplies & equipment
Scrap metal
Tractor tires
Large engines and turbine parts
Rail parts & equipment
What is the difference between open top and flat rack containers?
Although neither has a top, open top containers have all four sides,
unlike flat rack containers, which only have two. Open top containers also
tend to use heavy-duty tarps to provide wind and rain protection for
container contents.
