The 40-foot high cube open-top container is the ideal solution for oversized, bulky, and difficult-to-maneuver cargo that is incompatible with standard containers.
The combination of additional interior height (9’6″) and an open roof structure allows for flexible top loading – perfect for crane operations or specialized machinery logistics.

Whether in industry, plant engineering or raw material handling: This container is a heavy worker – robust, accessible and designed for high payloads.

Technical specifications

Construction & Material Quality

This High Cube Open Top Container is made of high-quality Corten steel – known for its corrosion resistance and long-term stability even under extreme conditions.

Design features:

• Open roof : Ideal for crane-based loading from above.
• Cover options : Selectable with soft top (tarpaulin) or hard top (steel plates) – depending on the intended use
• Rear access door : Allows additional loading from the rear – with four safety latches for maximum transport protection
• Lashing rings : Integrated fastening rings inside the vehicle for securing bulky goods
• Forklift guides : Underside with forklift pockets for better positioning and internal transport

Every detail is designed to ensure functional safety and maximum accessibility – whether for export via sea freight or on construction sites with complex loading situations.

Operational advantages

• Vertical loading without restrictions:
  Thanks to the open roof structure, the container is perfectly suited for oversized cargo – e.g. presses, turbines, steel beams, coils or pipelines .
• Maximum internal height (High Cube Standard):
  The height of 9′6″ provides approximately 30 cm more internal space to stack load units higher or to integrate additional securing elements.
• Global applicability
  , ISO compliant and CSC certified – approved for worldwide transport by rail, road and sea .
• Safe load distribution:
  Robust structure, uniform floor loads and strong lashing points ensure safe loading even with irregularly shaped cargo.
