Open Top Containers

Flexible Loading Solutions for Oversized & Heavy Cargo

MK Containers supplies 20ft Open Top and 40ft Open Top shipping containers designed for cargo that cannot be easily loaded through standard container doors. Featuring a removable tarpaulin roof and detachable roof bows, Open Top containers allow loading from above using cranes, making them the preferred choice for transporting oversized, heavy, or irregularly shaped cargo. Built to international ISO standards from high-strength Corten steel, Open Top containers provide the same durability and security as standard containers while offering greater flexibility for specialized shipping and industrial applications.
