<\/p>\nOpen Top Containers (OTCs) are characterized by an open-top that is covered by a tarpaulin instead of a tarp, in 20ft and 40ft dimensions.<\/p>\n
It is specifically built to store large unwieldy cargo that cannot be transported by conventional containers.<\/p>\n
The OT container can load goods higher than container walls. In this case the OT container is “out of gauge” (OOG).<\/p>\n
The exceed in height has an additional cost.<\/p>\n
Heavy machinery, construction equipment, oversized pipes\u00a0 etc.. are often too tall to be loaded through the doors of a standard container, so open top containers are often used to transport this type of cargo.<\/p>\n
Alternatively the packages are stowed through the doors once the movable bar has been removed. Not all containers are equipped with this upper “rail” on the door side, this is a request that must be specifically indicated.<\/p>\n
The tarpaulin usually covering the roof is made of a very resistant and waterproof material so that it can protect the goods during all land and sea transport.<\/p>\n
The use of tarpaulin is required for both container in gauge and out of gauge one.<\/p>\n
In the last one, the cost of tarpaulin will be slightly more because it will be cover a greater area.<\/p>\n
Once you know the length, width and height of the goods it is possible established the tarpaulin cost, that it will change depending on how much it exceeds the container.<\/p>\n
In cooperation with our South American freight forwarding agent, we arranged a container sea shipment to Nicaragua. Goods consisting of mining machinery a gold exploration and production company based in Managua.<\/p>\n
Considering the total weight and dimensions, the several packages have been stuffed inside 4×40′ open top containers with extra-shape tarpaulin (machinery height 313 cm).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Cargo has been loaded by vertical inside the open top containers and well secured so that it does not shift during land and sea transportation.<\/p>\n
