In detail
What is a 20ft used Open Top HC container?
An Open Top container is a container with an opening roof: its top section is removed to load goods from above, by crane. "HC," for High Cube, refers to a format raised by about 30 cm compared with the standard. "Used" means the unit has already been in service, then reconditioned at the depot.
The body, made of Corten steel, a self-weathering steel that naturally resists marine corrosion, retains the original HC structure. The polyester tarpaulin and removable bows are inspected or replaced at the depot. This HC variant has a movable header: the crossbar above the rear doors pivots, which allows tall pieces to be brought in through the rear without removing the roof.
The used 20ft HC format offers 36.5 m³ of usable volume, versus 33 m³ for a standard 20ft Open Top, for a 28,030 kg allowable load. Its interior height of 2.65 m accommodates out-of-gauge vertical pieces.
In detail
Open Top: what is an opening roof for?
A standard container is loaded only through its rear doors. Any goods taller than these doors, beam, machine, tank, become "out of gauge," or OOG: they do not fit. This is the problem the Open Top solves.
Its roof is not a fixed steel sheet. It consists of removable metal bows and a polyester tarpaulin tensioned by straps. Both are removed, and the body opens completely from the top. A crane, an overhead crane or a hoist can then lower the load directly in, without cutting it up or passing it through the doors.
Applications

Highlights
Why buy a 20ft used Open Top HC container
The used 20ft Open Top HC combines the opening roof, the movable header and High Cube height, at a reduced cost. The strengths below show what the depot inspection guarantees on each moving element and what the extra 30 cm of height bring to loading.
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.
-
Affordable price
Used represents a net saving compared with new, with no loss of the opening roof or movable header. The two functions that give the format its value remain intact.
-
Optimized volume
36.5 m³ usable, 3.5 m³ more than a standard 20ft Open Top, for 2.65 m of interior height. The vertical gain directly benefits tall pieces.
-
Body inspected at the depot
The HC structure is checked, the marine plywood floor inspected and sealing checked. The unit is refurbished before being put back into service.
-
Tarpaulin and bows inspected
The tarpaulin and bows are checked and replaced if degraded, then the straps are verified. The opening roof regains its full function.
-
Preserved movable header
The header's pivot is tested after reconditioning. It allows tall pieces to be loaded through the rear, with no need to remove the roof.
-
Re-validated compliance
ISO 6346 marking and the CSC plate are reissued after inspection; the Cargo Worthy rating remains possible for maritime use.
