The philosophy of making containers has been to integrate means to transport goods; But it should be kept in mind that due to the existence of various manufacturers, the dimensions of the container may differ by a few centimeters, which of course is not very important. The maximum weight (tonnage) of loading the container is also determined based on the CSC Plate of the container. But in addition to the tonnage of the container, the ship and the line in which the container is to be transported should be considered. For example, when shipping to Canada, there are container tonnage restrictions, which will result in fines.

Open Top Container
On this page, we want to talk about the open top container, which is usually used for transporting heavy and bulky cargo, and also check the technical specifications and standard dimensions of the open top container.
It is very important that we have enough information about each type of container so that we can plan an easier cargo transportation strategy and deliver the goods safely to their destination; Otherwise, if we use an inappropriate container to transport our goods, we have to bear a lot of costs to compensate for the loss.
When most people look at containers on a ship, they just see a few rectangular boxes of different colors; But they don’t know that those containers may look similar, but they are different and each one is used to carry a specific product; Because each of them has different uses; Such as refrigerated container, tanker container, high height container, flat rack container, 20 feet container, 40 feet container, etc. Open top container is another type of container that is used to transport dry goods.
Maybe you have seen open top containers on the road or in warehouses without a roof. An open-top container (without a roof) is a type of container whose upper part can be removed or pulled away. These containers are used to transport or store loads that are heavy and high (loads that cannot be easily loaded through the container door, such as long machinery, industrial parts, and parts with irregular geometric shapes). In order to enter these unusual cargoes into an open top container, instead of using the front door, the roof of the container is removed and the cargo is placed inside the container by a crane or a traveling bridge, and the top door is closed and sealed again.
open container (soldier) is used to transport and load products and dry goods that do not need packaging; such as sand, gravel, all kinds of beans, sugar, sugar, etc., as the name suggests, the open container does not have a roof, and its roof is sometimes covered with a metal lid and sometimes with canvas cloths to prevent damage to the goods during rain. Do not enter it. Open containers are used in the following cases:
- Ground transportation
- Maritime Transportation
- As a warehouse in a stop or shed
The way to load open top container in shipping is that it should be on all containers; This means that this type of container is only allowed to be loaded on the last floor.
The floor of the open container is usually wooden, and the body of the open container is made of metal (steel). The roof of this container is usually made of metal (detachable) or tarpaulin fabric (collapsible). Also, this container has rings attached to the side rails (top and bottom) and corner columns of the container that restrain the load so that it remains strong and safe during transportation.
Applications of open top containers
As mentioned above, the open top container is used to carry heavy weight and high height cargo. Of course, its applications are not only for transportation, and it can also be used to store goods. In general, its uses can be said as follows:
Use as storage in the shed:
For many businesses, stocking has become a challenge. For this reason, they sometimes use open-top containers to store and store products.
Use in land and sea transportation:
Open Top container is used both in land transportation (road and rail) and in sea transportation. But the point is that in sea transportation, factory open container (fabric) should be used. Because this type of container has customs standards and the handmade open container is not approved by global carriers.
In international transportation, the container should be covered with a standard tent or the metal roof should be re-placed so that no damage is caused to the goods inside when it rains. Therefore, to transport goods by sea using an open-top container, a handmade open-top container is not suitable
Types of open containers in terms of construction
Open top containers can be divided into the following two categories in terms of construction and production method:
(1) Fabric open top container
Fabric open container (factory) is produced by the factory. So that the top lid of the container is cut by the factory and the joints required for re-disassembly of the lid are considered for it, so that the lid of the container can be placed (sealed) and removed whenever needed.
Up Top Fabric container manufacturers comply with all customs standards. For this reason, the transportation and storage of cargo by these containers is carried out in a completely principled way, and all kinds of goods can be sent all over the world or various goods can be stored for a long time in docks and ports.
(2) Handmade open top container
In open containers that are handmade, the roof of the container is removed by a manual cutter. Therefore, it is not possible to reuse the roof, and tarpaulin and plastic fabrics are used to cover the roof. The handmade open-top container usually does not have the necessary standards for transporting and storing goods. For this reason, they are used in a limited way.
Types of open containers in terms of dimensions
Open top containers are usually produced in two sizes of 20 feet and 40 feet, both of which are used for warehousing and transportation.
20-foot (6 meter) open top container
Among the two sizes mentioned, the 20-foot model is very popular among merchants due to its greater simplicity in cargo handling. These 20-foot open-top containers are transported both by ship and by truck and train.
40-foot (12 meter) open top container
20-foot open-top containers can be moved by land and sea, and the size of these containers is large enough to fit on the trailer floor. The advantage of this size over 20 feet is that more cargo can be accommodated. In all eight corners of the 40-foot open container, there is a place to connect the crane hook during loading and closing it on the floor of the trailer.
What is the height of the Open Top container?
The height of open top containers depends on how they are manufactured. As mentioned, these containers have two types: factory and handmade. Factory type usually have standard and same height; unless they are slightly different; Because these containers are made according to customs standards.
But in the hand-made type, the roof of the normal container, which is removed with a cutting machine and converted into an open-top container, will have a different height, and according to what container has been converted into an open-top container, its height will also be different.
Advantages of open top container
In land and sea transportation, sometimes due to the type and volume of cargo, it is not possible to use regular containers. In this case, you can use open-top containers (open / without a roof), which have the following advantages:
- The possibility of separating the roof of the container for the entry of goods by crane
- Reducing the time of transferring goods into the container and unloading it
- The safety of goods and products in loading and handling is guaranteed.
- Damage to goods is minimized (such as breakage, scratches, etc.)
- Reducing the cost of packaging and moving goods
- Easy loading and reduced loading time
the price of open top container
As mentioned, the open top container is available in two types of 20 feet and 40 feet; But in general, the number of open containers is much less than the normal standard containers. Even a factory open container with a tent roof is rarely found; The reason is that it is only allowed to be on the upper floor of the ship during loading.
Like any other product, a single price cannot be announced for the purchase of an Open Top container; Because the conditions of each container are different and there are various parameters that affect the price of an open top container; such as factory or handmade, production brand, year of production, body type, production company, etc.
Another parameter that affects the price of an open container is the currency price; Because usually these containers are imported and are bought and sold at the price of dollars or other world currencies. Therefore, the price of an open-top factory container is calculated in dollars, and its global price is slightly higher than standard standard containers. Therefore, you should buy containers based on your budget; But if you are looking for a cheaper purchase, you can also use a second-hand open top container.
Factors affecting the price of used open top containers
We all know that the price of used goods is usually lower than new goods. So, the price of a used open top container is lower than a new container. Of course, being a second-hand container does not always mean its price is low. If the purchase is made in an unprincipled manner, sometimes the price of a second-hand open container may cost you as much as a new container.
So, you should be familiar with the various factors affecting their prices. As mentioned, many parameters affect the price of second-hand Open Top containers, the most important of which are the following:
- Factory or handmade
- Production Year
- Manufacturer
- Dimensions and size
- Container health
- Container body material
- exchange rate
- etc
Another important point is that in order to buy an open top container, you must visit it in person and check the health of the body and its documents in order to make a good purchase. All in all, we suggest that you contact the experts of Salian Containers and get more detailed information about the price and terms of sale of used open containers.
