Open Top Containers for Sale & Hire UK

BoxFlow can source 20ft and 40ft open top shipping containers for sale and hire across the UK, providing specialist container solutions for machinery, industrial equipment and cargo that requires loading from above.

Unlike conventional enclosed containers, open top containers feature a removable roof covering, typically a heavy-duty tarpaulin, allowing cargo to be loaded using cranes or other suitable lifting equipment.

Available in new or used condition subject to stock, our open top containers offer a practical solution for businesses requiring specialist loading access, industrial storage or project cargo applications.

Contact BoxFlow with your required container size, intended use and delivery location for a tailored quotation.

20ft & 40ft Open Top Containers from BoxFlow

BoxFlow supplies specialist open top shipping containers for sale and hire throughout the UK, subject to availability. Designed for cargo that cannot easily be loaded through conventional container doors, open top containers provide greater flexibility for lifting, loading and handling operations.

20ft Open Top Containers

20ft open top containers are suitable for compact machinery, engineering equipment, industrial components and heavy cargo requiring overhead loading. Their shorter length makes them a practical option for sites with limited space or specific handling requirements.

40ft Open Top Containers

40ft open top containers offer additional loading length for larger machinery, industrial equipment, steel products and project cargo. They are commonly used where conventional enclosed shipping containers do not provide sufficient loading access.

Open Top Container Sales & Hire

BoxFlow can assist with sourcing new and used open top containers, subject to depot availability. Purchase and hire options can be discussed according to your project requirements, location and intended period of use.

We can also assist with UK delivery arrangements, including suitable lifting and offloading equipment where required.
