Open Top Containers for Sale

Open top containers from Agronest Equipment are purpose-built for cargo that cannot be loaded through a standard door. The roof is either removable or replaced by a heavy-duty tarpaulin cover, which means you can lower items in from above using a crane, gantry, or excavator. This makes them the container of choice for industries that deal with tall, heavy, or awkward loads such as machinery, stone, timber, sculptures, and industrial components. Apart from the roof, these containers share the same construction as standard Agronest Equipment units, with corrugated steel walls, a solid floor, and secure end doors. The tarpaulin cover fits tightly and is secured with toggles and ropes to keep rain and debris out during storage and transport. When you need to load from the top, you simply roll back the cover and lift your cargo straight in.

Why Choose This Container

Frequently Asked Questions

When the tarpaulin cover is properly secured, an open top container provides good weather protection. However, for long-term outdoor storage of moisture-sensitive goods, a standard closed-top container offers superior waterproofing.

Tall machinery, stone blocks, timber, sculptures, industrial components, and any oversized items that cannot fit through standard end doors are typically loaded through the open top using a crane or gantry.

Yes. The tarpaulin is designed to be rolled back or removed entirely for loading. It is secured with toggles and ropes when in place and can be taken off in minutes.
