45ft One-Trip Open Top Container
A brand new, never-loaded 45ft open top container for oversized and out-of-gauge cargo. This One-Trip open top provides an unobstructed top opening for crane loading, heavy machinery, and bulk materials that cannot load through standard container doors.
Furthermore, the removable roof bows and heavy-duty tarpaulin protect cargo in transit while maintaining full overhead access on-site. As a result, this unit suits construction, mining, agricultural, and industrial freight operations.
Moreover, at 45 feet in length, this container offers significantly more floor space than a standard 40ft unit. Therefore, it handles longer structural steel, timber, pipes, and machinery with ease.

Common Loading Methods
Crane Top-Loading
Remove roof bows and lift cargo vertically into the container. As a result, oversized items that cannot pass through the rear door load cleanly from above.
Rear Door Loading
Standard rear cargo doors open to full width. Furthermore, forklift entry is supported by the 28mm hardwood timber floor and steel cross-member base.
Side-Loading (Flat Rack Alternative)
The open top profile allows side-crane loading for long structural items. Therefore, this container suits steel beams, pipes, and timber packs that exceed standard door height.
Suitable For
- Heavy machinery and plant equipment export
- Structural steel, pipes, and long timber freight
- Mining and construction equipment transport
- Agricultural bulk cargo — baled hay, grain bags, fertiliser pallets
- Oversized industrial components that exceed standard container door height
- Break-bulk cargo requiring crane or top-lift loading
