To answer this question, we have to go back and look at its main feature: a detachable roof. If the roof is attached, you can use the box to transport all types of general dry cargo. And if it’s detached, you can use the container to ship bulk cargo like cement, automotive, construction goods, steel, and much more.
Hard top containers are specially functional for heavy and very-heavy goods and heightened cargo — which needs to be loaded through the roof or doors using a forklift, crane, or crab. Cargo transported using hard top containers include marble, glass sheets, raw materials (like coal), large machinery, etc.
In terms of pallets, you can easily fit 25 and 30 pallets of American and European sizes, respectively. These are rough estimates. The number of pallets actually depends on the size of your container, which brings us to the next section:
Sizes and dimensions of a hard top container
Containers are made according to standard sizes set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Hard top containers are available as 20ft, 40ft, and 40ft high cube containers. Here are the three different capacities of these containers:
20ft hard shipping containers
A 20ft hard top container functions similarly as a standard TEU. You should choose a 20ft shipping container if you don’t have a higher volume requirement. These are a perfect choice for shippers looking to invest in hard top containers at a lower range.
40ft hard top shipping containers
A 40ft hard top container is twice the size of a 20ft hard top container. These are well-suited for shippers of bulkier and higher-volume cargo. The 40' shipping containers also offer good storage value for their price.
40 high cube hard top shipping container
A 40ft HC hard top container has an additional foot in height than a 40ft hard top container. These spacious 40ft HC shipping containers are perfect for damage-free shipping of large shipments. You can use ISO-certified containers for safe and secure storage and transportation of bulky cargo. They’ll offer you the best storage value for your money.
