Open top containers do not have solid roofs instead they have removable bows and a<br />
weatherproof tarpaulin roof which can be secured with ropes and allows for a significantly<br />
simplified loading and unloading process, the door header may also be swung out allowing for<br />
easier access to the cargo. Open top containers are ideal for bulky cargo such as machinery. The<br />
removable bows on open top containers are not there solely to hold the tarpaulin cover but also to<br />
add stability to the ocean container, therefore flat rack containers can be more suited to over height<br />
cargoes. Lashing rings in the container are used to secure and prevent shifting of the cargo during<br />
transit; these lashing rings can hold loads of up to 1,000kg.<br />
