Description
The 40ft New Open-Top Shipping Container is an open-top container with a removable tarpaulin cover in place of a steel roof, so tall or heavy items can be loaded from above by crane. At 40ft, this is roughly double the floor space of a 20ft unit, which usually makes it the most economical choice per square foot.
Typical uses include warehouse overflow, bulk inventory, equipment and vehicle storage, and large commercial or agricultural projects.
This container is new, with minimal or no prior use: clean, uniform paint, a sound floor and door seals in new condition. Whether the unit supplied is a new-build or has made a single trip is confirmed on your order.
