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.
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.
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.

Highlights
Why buy a 40ft used Open Top container
The used 40ft Open Top offers the long format for top loading at a reduced cost. The strengths below show what the depot inspection guarantees, including the tarpaulin and structure, and why this large format remains ideal for long out-of-gauge 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.
-
Affordable price
Used represents a net saving compared with new 40ft, with no loss of the opening-roof function. The budget difference carries over to the project.
-
Long format
66 m³ usable provide the maximum capacity in the segment for transporting long out-of-gauge pieces; profiles, elongated machines, structures.
-
Body inspected at the depot
The welded 40ft 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.
-
Sustainable approach
Extending the life of an existing 40ft body avoids manufacturing a new unit. On a large format, the steel saved is even more significant.
-
Re-validated compliance
ISO 6346 marking and the CSC plate are reissued after inspection; the Cargo Worthy rating remains possible for maritime use.
