Open Top Containers in Brixton FAQ

What is an open top container?

An open top container features a removable roof, typically covered by a tarpaulin. This design facilitates the loading of oversized or bulky cargo from the top using cranes or other lifting equipment, making them ideal for items that cannot be easily loaded through standard container doors.

What are the primary uses for open top containers?

Open top containers are commonly used for transporting or storing tall or heavy items such as machinery, construction materials, timber, scrap metal, and other goods that require overhead loading. Their design also makes them suitable for certain types of bulk cargo.

Are open top containers waterproof?

The tarpaulin cover provides protection from the elements, including rain and wind. While designed to be weather-resistant, it might not offer the same level of airtight and waterproof sealing as a standard closed container, especially under extreme conditions or if the tarpaulin is damaged. Regular inspection of the cover is recommended.

What is the weight capacity of open top containers?

Weight capacities vary by size. A 20ft open top container typically has a maximum payload capacity of around 28,200 kg, while a 40ft unit can carry up to approximately 26,600 kg. Always check the specific technical specifications for the exact container you are interested in.

Are the containers suitable for international shipping?
