Product overview
Our 20ft used open top shipping container with a soft tarp roof is designed for loading oversized or top-loaded cargo that can’t be handled through standard container doors.
It’s perfect for storing or transporting machinery, bulk materials, scrap, or awkwardly shaped items that require vertical access.
This unit features a removable roof bow system and weatherproof tarpaulin cover, along with standard cargo doors on one end for flexible loading.
Though used, each container is inspected for structural integrity, wind and watertight condition, and secure lashing points for cargo retention.
