In detail
What is a 40ft 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. It is the largest format in the range.
The body, made of Corten steel, a self-weathering steel that naturally resists marine corrosion, retains its original welded HC structure. The large-format 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 40ft HC format offers 74.5 m³ of usable volume, versus 66 m³ for a standard 40ft Open Top, for a 26,480 kg allowable load. Its interior height of 2.65 m, combined with its length, makes it the most versatile format on the out-of-gauge secondary market.
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 40ft used Open Top HC container
Reconditioned, this long, tall format covers out-of-gauge logistics that combine length and height, at a reduced acquisition cost.
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 40ft used Open Top HC container
The used 40ft Open Top HC is the maximum-capacity format of combined out-of-gauge: 40ft length, HC height, opening roof and movable header combined. The strengths below show what the depot inspection guarantees and what this combination brings 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 40ft HC, with no loss of the opening roof, movable header or HC height.
-
Maximum volume
74.5 m³ usable, 8.5 m³ more than a standard 40ft Open Top. It is the largest capacity available on an opening-roof body.
-
Additional height
30 cm more than a standard 40ft Open Top. This margin serves long vertical pieces and multi-layer packaging.
-
Body inspected at the depot
The long HC structure is checked and the marine plywood floor inspected before delivery. The unit is refurbished, not sold as-is.
-
Preserved movable header
The header's pivot is tested after reconditioning and its seals inspected or replaced. The second out-of-gauge access route remains functional.
-
Re-validated compliance
ISO 6346 marking and the CSC plate are reissued after inspection; the Cargo Worthy rating remains possible for maritime use.
