Open Top Containers For Sale

KEEPING YOUR GOODS DRY WITH A SOLID ROOF OR TARPAULIN

Most people who buy an open top container keep the elements out by lashing a thick tarpaulin with roof bows to the top. Our containers have multiple fastening points all around the top frame to make this easy and keep rain out.

Another option, which we can also supply, is to use a removable roof/metal lid to create what’s known as a hard-top open top. This can be lifted off and reapplied in sections. These sections can be locked in place once your goods are inside your open top shipping container, and help to make your items even more secure.

If you’re unsure about what kind of lid you need, please contact our open top container sales team.

A FLEXIBLE STORAGE SOLUTION AT WORK OR AT HOME

As well as larger organisations who purchase them for international shipping, we sell open top containers to private individuals and small businesses.

The main reason people buy open top containers from TITAN Australia is the access they provide from the top, unlike standard containers. They are perfect when:

Protecting bulky goods

Construction materials, heavy machinery, fertilisers and other goods can often only be loaded into a container from the top using an overhead crane. No matter how big or small your business, a 20ft or 40ft open top container with a tarp roof on top is sometimes the only viable solution.

Throwing or dropping scrap and refuse

Some clients buy open top containers to use like a vast skip. Whether you’re dropping scrap metal in or using our container as a place to deposit building site waste, the top-down approach is often much simpler than loading from the end.
