20 Ft Open Top Containers

Need to transport weighty items or large cargo? 20ft open top containers from Pelican Containers can help.

These containers are perfect for transporting boxes of goods, bulky cargo, and hefty items that require extra space. Due to the absence of a roof, you can load and unload your items from above using cranes. But don’t worry about their safety — each open top 20ft container is equipped with a sturdy tarpaulin cover to keep your cargo dry and protected.

They also have multiple lashing points and ventilation points strategically located throughout the interior, so your cargo is also well-ventilated.

But the coolest feature? The floor. It’s lined from end to end with durable timber. This gives the container a solid cladding that ensures your cargo doesn’t have to touch the hard metal floor. Plus, the timber lining helps keep your stuff in place, preventing any slippage during sea and cross-country travels.

At Pelican Containers, we offer new and used 20ft containers with open top for sale:

• Straight off the production line, new containers are built to last. The high-quality materials used in their construction mean they’re super durable and provide excellent protection for your cargo, even on long journeys.
