Containers with a removable hard top are specialized and used relatively rarely. They are designed for multimodal transportation of goods with significant weight. They were given the designation HT (Hard Top), which can be translated as a rigid roof.
Advantages of containers with hard top
The cost of 40 ft HARD TOP container is higher than with a fixed or removable soft top. The use of metal roof has a number of advantages:
• Increases degree of protection of the goods from external factors;
• The container does not lose its hardness, like in the case of using canvas top;
• In the absence of specialized goods it will not idle, and can be used as an ordinary container.
Structural features of HARD TOP containers
The price of sea 40-ton HARD TOP container is determined by its structural features and it is slightly higher than the cost of sealed containers of similar size.
1. The presence of removable top requires the use of additional locking elements for a secure fit;
2. There is a possibility to remove the beam above the end door of the container, which allows the loading of bulky cargo with a loader, and not only with the help of a crane;
3. If necessary, the roof can be mounted along one of the side walls, which will reduce the internal volume of the container, but will allow you to transport the equipment with dimensions exceeding the height of the container.
