What goods can be transported in an open top container?

Open top containers can usually transport the following types of goods:

1、 Large machinery and equipment

Engineering machinery and equipment:

Large construction machinery and equipment such as excavators, loaders, bulldozers, etc. are usually bulky and irregularly shaped, making them difficult to transport in ordinary containers. The roofless design of open top containers allows for easy lifting of machinery into the container from the top using equipment such as cranes. For example, when transporting a large excavator from a construction site to another site, an open top container can easily accomplish this task.

Industrial production equipment: Various large-scale industrial production equipment, such as machine tools, injection molding machines, presses, etc., are also suitable for transportation in open top containers. These devices often have high height and weight, and open top containers can meet their special transportation needs. For example, a factory needs to relocate to a new location, and its large production equipment can be safely and efficiently transported through open top containers.

Power generation equipment:

Wind turbine components, including blades, tower, nacelle, etc. Wind turbine blades are usually very long, usually several tens of meters or even longer, and cannot be accommodated in ordinary containers. Open top containers can provide sufficient space for blades and ensure their stability during transportation through special fixing devices. For example, in a wind farm construction project, a large number of wind turbine blades need to be transported from the manufacturer to the installation site, and open top containers are an ideal choice.

Diesel generator sets, solar power generation equipment, etc. can also be transported in open top containers. These devices usually have a large volume and weight, and the load-bearing capacity and space advantages of open top containers can meet their transportation requirements.

2、 Building materials

Steel structural components:

Steel structural components such as steel beams, steel columns, and steel trusses are widely used in construction projects, and these components are usually longer in length and larger in volume. Open top containers can conveniently load and transport these steel structural components, and can be placed and fixed reasonably according to the shape of the components. For example, in large-scale construction projects, steel structural components can be transported from the processing plant to the construction site through open top containers.

Prefabricated concrete components, such as prefabricated wall panels, floor slabs, stairs, etc., can also be transported in open top containers. Especially for some large prefabricated concrete components, the space advantage of open top containers is more obvious. During transportation, appropriate protective measures need to be taken to prevent damage to the components.

Large pipelines:

Large pipelines used in industries such as petroleum, natural gas, and chemical engineering have large diameters and long lengths that cannot be accommodated by ordinary containers. Open top containers can provide sufficient space for these pipelines and ensure their stability during transportation through special fixing devices. For example, in oil pipeline laying projects, a large number of pipelines need to be transported to the construction site, and open top containers are an effective transportation method.

Water supply and drainage pipes, ventilation pipes, etc. can also be transported in open top containers. During transportation, attention should be paid to the protection of pipelines to avoid collisions and damage.

3、 Special goods

Artworks and sculptures:

Large art pieces and sculptures typically have unique shapes and sizes, requiring high transportation conditions. Open top containers can provide customized transportation solutions for these artworks and sculptures, ensuring their safety during transportation. For example, some precious sculptures need to be exhibited internationally, and open top containers can be specially packaged and fixed according to the shape of the sculptures to ensure that they arrive at their destination intact and undamaged.

Art exhibitions, antiques, etc. are also suitable for transportation in open top containers. During transportation, professional protective measures such as shock resistance, moisture resistance, sun protection, etc. need to be taken to ensure the safety of the goods.

Cars and yachts:

For some special models of cars or supercars, due to their low height, they may not be able to enter the container through the doors of a regular container. Open top containers allow cars to be lifted into the container from the top, making it convenient and fast. For example, in car exhibitions or car races, it is necessary to transport some special cars to different locations, and open top containers are a good choice.

Yacht is also one of the common types of cargo transported in open top containers. Yachts are usually longer in length and higher in height, and open top containers can provide sufficient space for them. During transportation, professional fixing devices and protective measures are required to ensure the safety of the yacht.
