Open Top Container 20'

  • Especially for:
    - overheight cargo
    - loading from top side, e.g. by crane
    - loading from door side, e.g. with cargo hanging from overhead tackle.
  • Door header can be swung out on all open top containers.
  • If required, disposable tarpaulins can be provided. For fastening tarpaulins, lashing bars are available on the outside of the walls. Using one way tarpaulins requires the corner castings to be accessible.
  • Fork-lift pockets on a number of containers (please see footnote 1).
  • The capacity of the floor for use of fort-lift trucks exceeds the ISO standards by 33% on all 20' open top containers.
  • Numerous lashing devices are located on the top and bottom longitudinal rails and the corner posts. Lashing devices have a permissible load of 1,000 kg (2,205 lbs) each.
  • Dimensions of roof and door openings are on the next page.
  • Note permissable weight limits for road and rail transport.
