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.
