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 40ft used Open Top container?
An Open Top container is a container with an opening roof: its top section is removed to load goods from above, by crane. "Used" means the unit has already been through several service cycles, then reconditioned; inspected and refurbished at the depot. The 40ft format is the long format in the range.
Read more
The body, made of Corten steel, a self-weathering steel that naturally resists marine corrosion, retains its original reinforced structure. The polyester tarpaulin and removable bows are inspected or replaced at the depot depending on condition. The 28 mm marine plywood floor withstands heavy rolling loads.
The 40ft format offers 66 m³ of usable volume over 28.28 m² of floor space, with rear doors opening at 270°. At a lower cost than new, it is a proven solution for transporting long out-of-gauge goods, in the naval, rail, forestry and energy sectors.

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.
