Description
The 40ft Used 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 is a used container that has served in transport. Expect cosmetic wear such as dents, scratches, surface rust, faded paint and possible repairs. The exact condition grade of the unit supplied (Wind & Watertight or Cargo Worthy) is confirmed before delivery.
