In detail
What is a used 20 ft Half-Height Open Top container?
A Half-Height container is a shipping container with a reduced exterior height: 1.295 m, compared to about 2.59 m on a standard format. The Open Top variant receives a flexible cover; a reinforced polyester tarpaulin stretched by straps over removable metal bows. The term "used" means it is an inspected used unit, sourced from a used fleet that is inspected before being put back on sale.
This format combines the load density of the half-height with full top opening: simply undo the straps and roll back the tarpaulin to free up complete access to the floor, without removing the cover. The inspected used structure is built on a Corten steel casing, a weathering steel that naturally resists marine corrosion, fully welded, and a reinforced steel floor.
In the 20 ft format, the unit offers approximately 14.5 m³ of usable volume for a 21,790 kg payload. It's the reference for transporting concentrated dense loads, heavy bulk, ore, rubble, metals, soil, that a crane or excavator loads directly from the top.
For a Used version, National Conteneur uses this technical base as a reference, then qualifies each unit according to its actual condition: structure, weatherproofing, doors, floor, markings, documents and equipment specific to the product family. The technical information therefore remains that of the model, while cosmetic condition, availability and certificates depend on the batch offered.
In detail
Why choose a half-height container?
A standard shipping container is about 2.59 m high. For many dense goods, rubble, ore, scrap metal, this height serves no purpose: the load is heavy but not bulky, and the container reaches its weight limit long before it's full.
The half-height brings the exterior height down to 1.295 m. The container keeps a high payload capacity, but becomes much lower. Two advantages follow: the crane or excavator load from the top without lifting the bucket very high, and the container stays within the standard road transport gauge; no need for a specific low-bed transport.
Applications
Uses for a used 20 ft Half-Height Open Top container
The tarpaulin cover rolls back in a few moves: the crane, overhead crane or excavator can attack the cargo directly. Four industrial uses take advantage of it:
The applications below show the contexts in which this format is most relevant. Each use case links the on-site need to the concrete benefit of the container.
Highlights
Why buy a used 20 ft Half-Height Open Top container
The inspected used Half-Height Open Top container combines reduced height, built for dense loads, with top loading under a tarpaulin. The strengths below explain what this combination brings to handling heavy bulk, from loading to road delivery.
The strengths below explain what each technical choice brings to the project. They help compare the product with a less specialized alternative or a different condition.
-
Reinforced polyester tarpaulin cover
The tarpaulin is removable via straps and the metal bows can be dismantled. Access to the floor is fully freed up for bulk loading.
-
Top loading without dismantling
The crane, overhead crane or excavator deposit the load directly from above. This is a decisive productivity gain on extraction sites.
-
1.295 m exterior height
The casing stays within the standard road transport gauge. No specific low-bed transport is required, unlike a full-height container.
-
21,790 kg payload
Despite its reduced height, the casing handles a high dense load. It reaches its weight limit right as it fills up, without wasted volume.
-
Corten casing and reinforced steel floor
The weathering steel structure and reinforced floor withstand the stresses of heavy bulk and falling materials.
-
ISO 6346 and CSC compliance
The unit moves through multimodal transport, maritime, rail, road, without any modification.
Applications
What is the price of a used 20 ft Half-Height Open Top container
The Half-Height Open Top is a niche market: small production runs, demand concentrated among construction, mining and steel operations that favor direct loading by crane or excavator.
Four factors drive the price observed:
