Description

40′HT – HARD TOP

An open-top container usually transports cargo that is too large to fit inside. This cargo can only be loaded from the top. The same 40′HT —HARD TOP containers are used for oversized cargo whose height is higher than the standard container.

Specifications

• CORTEN anti-corrosive all-steel construction
• Marine grade plywood
• Secure lockbox
• Manufactured to ISO Specifications
• Forklift Pockets (on most units)
• Side vents for airflow

Container Open Tops typically have a removable roof made of canvas or a similar material. Less common is a Hard Top with a removable hard roof. Both have a removable top crossbar at the end of the container. This feature makes handling easier.

OUG (OOG) stands for–of–Gauge, which means the cargo size exceeds the size of the standard container (protruding out of the container).

Common notations:

40 Hard Top Container, 40 HT (with hard top), 40’FT HT

The 40-foot-high cube container has an exterior height of 9’6”, which is 1 foot taller than the standard height of shipping containers. It is made for people who need to store or move large items that do not fit in standard containers.

A one-trip container is only shipped once from the factory to the USA. It is built with 14 gauge CORTEN anticorrosive steel, which 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. This plywood’s quality surpasses regular plywood because it is high density, which helps prevent fungi and termites.
