Open Top Half Height Shipping Containers

Open Top Half Height Shipping Containers for Sale

Purpose-built for the mining and construction industries, these open top half height shipping containers are engineered to store and transport bulk products such as concentrates, sand, ore, and other heavy raw materials. The half-height profile is the whole point: shorter side walls give the container exceptional strength and a low centre of gravity, so it stays stable even when loaded to its considerable payload. Available new in both 20ft and 40ft configurations, these are specialized units for demanding bulk-handling operations.

Engineered for Bulk Materials

Each unit comes with a removable hard lid that speeds up loading and helps control dust during transit. The lid is built from a steel roof frame and roof panel and includes six sets of large loading and unloading fork handles, one pair of small fork pockets, seal gaskets, and four roof locking mechanisms. At the base you’ll find one set of Heavy Lift pockets and one set of Empty Fork Pockets, giving operators multiple safe handling options.

Fast Discharge Design

These containers feature a Front Discharge Hatch and Rear Barn Doors, so loaded contents can be tipped out quickly by opening the hatch or doors. Inside, tapered smooth inner walls run down to a coved edge and a smooth floor, letting material flow out cleanly with minimal residue left behind.
