Are you looking to buy a 20ft half-height open-top shipping container ? This special container has an open top , making it ideal for loading tall or heavy goods that need to be placed from above with a crane, shovel, or hooklift system. Think of materials with a high specific weight, such as gravel, sand, or construction machinery.

This version is half-height with an external height of approximately 1,295 mm , making it easier to load while remaining stackable. The container is equipped with a steel floor that can withstand heavy loads and intensive use.

The container is in one-way condition , meaning it was shipped once and never used again. This results in a technical condition without significant signs of wear and is ready for immediate use for storage or transport.

This container is made of Corten steel , ensuring a robust construction with high resistance to corrosion and weathering. The exterior is finished in RAL 7016 anthracite gray and the interior in RAL 7035 light gray , ensuring a stylish appearance on site.

The semi-height open-top container comes standard with a tail lift , further simplifying loading and unloading with machinery. The combination of an open top and a strong floor makes this type of container particularly suitable for transporting heavy and irregular loads.

Suitable for logistics, construction, industry and storage of heavy materials.

Frequently asked questions

All frequently asked questions

What is the quality difference between new and used shipping containers?

New shipping containers

  • Directly from the factory in China
  • Shipped to the Netherlands or Belgium once
  • Equipped with a lockbox, ventilation grilles and door handles at medium height
  • Choice of different RAL colours
    Suitable for storage and transport
  • ISO and CSC certified

Used shipping containers

  • Used in international shipping for around 13 years on average
  • Checked for:
    Wind and water tightness
    Hinges and locks
  • Re-certified to ISO and CSC standards after approval
  • Fully functional for storage and transport
  • Visible signs of use may occur, such as rust, scratches and dents
Is a new container really new if it has been used once for transport?

Yes. A new shipping container is also called a one-trip or one-way container. These containers are produced in China and used once to ship cargo to Europe.

After arrival, the container is unloaded, inspected and lightly repaired if needed. It is then available for sale.

  • Used for only one sea voyage
  • No previous use in international shipping
  • Technically and structurally in new condition
  • Minor signs of transport are normal
  • ISO and CSC certified

Collection directly from the factory is not possible. Empty shipping would cause the same light transport marks as a loaded voyage. Until delivery, the containers are stored outside at our depot.

Do I need a CSC certificate for my container?

Only when you use the container for international transport.

  • You can indicate during ordering that you want to receive a copy of the CSC certificate
  • Used shipping containers: CSC usually valid for 12 months
  • New shipping containers: CSC valid up to 5 years after production date
  • For storage use within the Netherlands, a CSC certificate is not required
Is it possible to collect the container myself?

Yes, this is possible at our location in Rotterdam. Please note that you must collect the container with a suitable vehicle.

  • Collection with a passenger car and trailer is not permitted.
  • Make sure you arrive with suitable transport equipment so the container can be transported safely.
  • Contact us in advance to agree a collection date, so we can prepare the container for pickup on time.
Is it possible to receive photos or inspect the shipping container before delivery?

Yes, this is possible during the ordering process. You can choose to receive photos or inspect the shipping container in advance.

  • If you reject the container, you will receive photos of an alternative
  • If you also reject this alternative, the sale will be cancelled
  • In that case, you only pay the cost of the photo option
  • The remaining purchase amount will be refunded in full
