Definition
What is a Open Top container?
La famille Open Top regroupe les conteneurs conçus pour charger par le haut. Elle sert aux marchandises qui ne passent pas facilement par les portes arrière.
Read more
Le chargement vertical se fait généralement avec une grue ou un moyen de levage adapté. Cette logique répond aux pièces hautes, longues ou difficiles à manœuvrer à l’intérieur d’un Dry.
Le choix dépend du gabarit, du poids, de la méthode de levage et du besoin de protection supérieure. Les charges OOG — Out Of Gauge, hors gabarit standard — demandent un cadrage précis avant devis.

In detail
What is a 20ft first-trip 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. "First-trip" means it is a new unit, out of the factory after a single trip.
Read more
The body, made of Corten steel, a self-weathering steel that naturally resists marine corrosion, is fully welded. The reinforced polyester tarpaulin rests on removable metal bows. 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 20ft HC format offers 36.5 m³ of usable volume, 3.5 m³ more than 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, loaded through the doors as well as the roof.

Dimensions in millimetres · perspective viewLe choix de l’état
Premier voyage ou occasion ?
L’aspect attendu, l’usage et le budget orientent le choix. Demandez les photos et les caractéristiques du conteneur proposé avant de vous décider.
Premier voyage : quel état ?
Un conteneur premier voyage est une unité récemment fabriquée qui a effectué un trajet maritime de positionnement. Son aspect est généralement proche du neuf, mais de petites marques de transport ou de manutention restent possibles.
C’est une option à privilégier pour une installation visible, un aménagement soigné ou un projet où l’état initial compte particulièrement. Demandez les photos et les caractéristiques du conteneur proposé.
Occasion : pour quels usages ?
Un conteneur d’occasion a déjà servi au transport maritime. Les bosses, les reprises de peinture, la corrosion et les réparations varient d’une unité à l’autre : l’appellation seule ne décrit pas son état réel.
Pour le stockage, le chantier ou un usage technique, une occasion contrôlée peut répondre au besoin avec un budget initial plus contenu. Distinguez les traces d’usage acceptables des défauts qui affectent la structure, la fermeture des portes ou l’étanchéité.
Que vérifier avant l’achat ?
- Structure : déformations importantes, trous, corrosion perforante, état du châssis et des coins ISO.
- Portes et joints : ouverture, fermeture, fonctionnement des barres de verrouillage et continuité des joints.
- Plancher et étanchéité : zones molles, réparations inadaptées et entrées de lumière anormales, hors ventilation prévue.
Pour un transport maritime international, faites aussi confirmer la validité CSC et l’aptitude de l’unité au transport prévu. La plaque ne remplace pas l’examen du conteneur.
Budget : que faut-il comparer ?
À format comparable, l’occasion est généralement moins chère à l’achat. Vérifiez aussi ce que le devis inclut : le conteneur, le transport et le déchargement sur votre site.
À format identique, les dimensions nominales restent les mêmes ; la tare et la charge utile se vérifient sur les plaques. Pour un frigorifique, un Open Side ou un conteneur équipé, contrôlez aussi les équipements décisifs pour votre usage : groupe froid, portes ou installations.
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
Uses for a 20ft first-trip Open Top HC container
The HC format combines two loading modes: the removed roof for crane access, and the pivoting movable header for the rear doors.
The applications below show in which contexts this format is most relevant. Each use links the on-the-ground need to the container's concrete benefit.
Highlights
Why buy a 20ft first-trip Open Top HC container
The new 20ft Open Top HC combines two out-of-gauge accesses, the opening roof and the movable header, with the increased High Cube height. The strengths below explain what each feature brings and why this configuration accommodates the tallest vertical pieces.
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.
-
Additional HC height
Additional HC height
2.65 m of interior height, 30 cm more than a standard Open Top. This vertical margin accommodates tall pieces that the standard format cannot hold.
-
New opening roof

The bows and tarpaulin come off to free full access from above. The load is lowered vertically by crane, directly into the body.
-
Movable header
Movable header
The rear header pivots to let tall pieces pass through the rear, with no need to remove the roof. It is a second, complementary out-of-gauge access route.

The unit is fit for multimodal transport. Its High Cube gauge, however, requires checking available heights on certain routes with low bridges.
Applications
What is the price of a 20ft first-trip Open Top HC container
The new 20ft Open Top HC combines three specifications, opening roof, movable header and HC height, which place it in a restricted niche segment of the out-of-gauge market.
