45ft Open Top Shipping Container – One Trip

When cargo simply won’t pass through conventional container doors, our 45ft Open Top Shipping Container provides the overhead access needed to load large machinery, tall equipment and awkward freight.

Its extended 45ft floor gives operators substantial usable space, while the removable open-top arrangement allows cranes and lifting equipment to lower cargo directly into position. Once loaded, the top can be covered and secured for appropriate storage or transport applications.

The High Cube body adds valuable vertical clearance, making this model particularly useful for industrial projects where conventional enclosed containers create loading restrictions.

Supplied in one-trip condition, the unit offers a clean structure with minimal previous handling—well suited to construction, infrastructure, mining, manufacturing and specialist equipment storage.

Designed for Difficult Loads

This container earns its place in the catalogue through accessibility, rather than simply capacity.

Overhead loading makes it suitable for cargo that would otherwise require extensive dismantling before entering through standard rear doors.

Typical applications include:

• Industrial machinery

• Construction equipment

• Fabricated steel

• Mining components

• Large pumps

• Agricultural machinery

• Oversized engineering equipment

• Long structural materials

• Manufacturing components

• Heavy plant parts

• Project cargo

• Awkwardly shaped freight

Loading Options

Cargo can be introduced through the conventional rear doors when practical or lowered from above using suitable lifting equipment.

That flexibility can significantly simplify handling of tall, heavy or irregular items.

Modification Options

Available configurations can include:

• Additional tie-down points

• Internal restraint systems

• Security lockboxes

• Additional ventilation

• Heavy-duty flooring

• Internal protective lining

• Electrical installations

• Lighting

• Specialist cargo securing

• Exterior repainting
