PRODUCT OVERVIEW45FT OPEN TOP

About the 45ft open top conex box

An open top container replaces the steel roof with removable roof bows and a heavy-duty tarpaulin. Pull the tarp back and cargo can be lowered in from above by crane or loaded over the top.

Many units also have a swing-away door header, which makes it easier to drive tall items through the end doors. It’s the right choice for loads too tall or awkward to go through the doors.

Why 45ft?

Our longest unit, offering extra floor space for bulky or long items. It needs a larger site and clear truck access for delivery.

More than a 40ft unit holds, or roughly 24 to 27 standard pallets.

Key features

Questions about this container

What fits in a 45ft container?

More than a 40ft unit holds, or roughly 24 to 27 standard pallets. Exact capacity depends on how the space is packed.

Is the open top weatherproof?

With the tarpaulin fitted and tied down, the roof keeps out most weather, but it isn’t as tight as a steel roof. For long-term outdoor storage, check the tarp regularly.

Can I rent this container instead of buying it?

Yes. Choose Buy, Rent or Rent to own above and request a quote, and we’ll confirm what’s available for this unit in your area. See how conex rental and rent-to-own work.
