A characteristic feature of Open Top and Hard Top is a removable top crossbar at the end of the container which is used for the convenience of handling activities.

A one-trip container is only shipped once from the factory to the USA. This container is built with 14 gauge CORTEN anti-corrosive steel. CORTEN steel has better rust properties than conventional steel. This contributes to the improved longevity of shipping containers.

The container floors are built with 1-1/8” marine-grade plywood. The quality of this plywood surpasses that of regular plywood because it has a high density, which helps prevent fungi and termites.
