Details

• • Similar in function to Open Top Containers
• • Specially designed to transport heavy cargo that is best loaded by crane and cargo that extends out of the top of the container
• • Equipped with a removable steel roof
• • If the cargo protrudes out of the container, the roof can be removed and attached to the inside of the container
• • This allows the container to be reused to carry general cargo on a possible return trip and thus reduce the cost of empty positioning
• • Goods can best be secured to the interior lashing points located in the vicinity of the side walls only when the roof is on
• • Some models also have a swinging header (rear top rail) to facilitate easier loading operations
• • Roof opening can vary depending on the model (one or more pieces)
