Open-top containers are a type of shipping container that have a removable roof, allowing for easy loading and unloading of cargo that is too tall to fit inside a standard shipping container. These containers are typically made of steel for the walls and doors, but the floor is typically made of wood to provide a sturdy base for the cargo. This type of container is commonly used for transporting oversized or irregularly shaped cargo, such as machinery or heavy equipment. The removable roof also allows for easy access to the cargo from above, making it easier to load and unload.

What is the use of open-top container? 

Open-top containers are designed to transport oversized or irregularly shaped cargo that cannot be easily loaded through the doors of a standard shipping container. These containers have removable roofs and end doors, allowing for easy loading and unloading of the cargo using a crane or other lifting equipment. The removable roof also allows for easy access to the cargo from above, making it easier to pack and unload the container. The tarpaulin on the top of the container protects the cargo from the elements, while the lashing rings on the inside of the container help to secure the cargo and prevent shifting during transport. Open-top containers are commonly used to transport a variety of cargo, including machinery, timber, steel, and scrap metals.
