These 40ft open top shipping containers are ideal for lengthy cargo like metal tubes and beams, as well as large equipment like gensets and storage tanks.
The open top design makes it easy to load and off-load large and long cargo using cranes.
The entire container is designed to withstand bumps and other external forces that can otherwise damage your cargo.
The entire length of the floor is lined with durable timber that acts as a durable cladding that keeps the heavy cargo from coming in contact with the hard metal floor.
The wooden layer of the floor also helps keep your cargo in place and prevents slippage.
Most 40ft open top containers for sale have a few vents to prevent cargo sweat. Cargo sweat is harmful condensation that forms when there’s not enough ventilation. Our containers have multiple ventilation chutes to eliminate condensation and control temperature.
Multiple lashing points are located in precise areas to keep your cargo protected from excessive movements, especially during long sea travel.

    Product Description

    If you need a solution that is perfect for loading and unloading large and lengthy cargo, you may consider 40ft open top containers from Pelican Containers.

    An open top 40ft container is ideal for items like metal tubes, beams, gensets, and storage tanks due to its open-top design and crane compatibility.

    We’ve made sure your cargo stays safe to withstand knocks and other external factors that could damage it. The strong timber lining on the entire floor serves as a barrier that protects your massive load from the solid metal floor. It also helps keep your cargo securely in place, preventing any slippage.

    Accessibility is important for a 40ft open top container. It has a detachable tarpaulin and roof bows, as well as a swinging header for effortless loading and unloading.

    Worried about condensation or “cargo sweat”? Unlike other containers with limited ventilation, ours are equipped with multiple ventilation chutes to eliminate condensation and effectively control temperature.

    40 open top containers also have multiple lashing points placed strategically to keep your cargo secure and avoid excessive movements.

    And let’s not forget about standards. 40ft open top containers are created, constructed, and accredited to meet ISO, TIR, UIC, CSC, and ABS approvals. You get a container that meets global quality and safety standards.

    How is this container delivered?

    Tilt Tray

    Tilt tray delivers a container off the back of the truck. Similar to a tow truck, the tray is mechanically lowered at an angle, and the container is slid off, with the truck moving forward at slow speed. This is the most common delivery method used for containers. Tilt trays are not suitable for sites with overhead power lines as the container height increases significantly when tilted.

    Side Loader

    Side loaders are used to transport our 20 foot and 40 foot shipping containers. This is the best delivery method for containers at sites that have limited space either in front or behind the area where the container is to be positioned. The container is unloaded between the two outrigger feet of the side loader, approximately half a metre from the side of the truck.

    Hiab Crane

    Hiab cranes lift containers from a mechanism located behind the truck’s cabin. This is used when there is limited space for a side loader or tilt tray. Using a crane means the container is easily positioned at an angle or up on a raised area. It can also be used to place containers over a fence or other obstacles.

    Pelican Containers are an amazing company to work with! From the sales rep to the delivery driver, they all worked with a very high level of integrity. This America based business answered the phone when we called, they checked up and followed through with all our requests. We had daily communication with the sales rep during the purchase process. When the driver was on his way with our delivery, and he knew that he was running behind, he called to let us know a more exact time he would arrive. He was easy to work with and was not in a hurry to off load the containers. He was thorough with the placement of the containers, making sure that they were where we wanted them. We will do business with this company again!
