10ft Open Top Shipping Container
SKU MG-10DRY-OPENTOP · Held at Johannesburg, Gauteng
A 10ft open top container for loads that have to drop in from above. The roof bows lift out and the tarpaulin rolls back, so a crane or telehandler can place tall or heavy items straight into the box before it is sheeted and roped closed again. End doors with a swing-out header let the same load slide out. Graded wind- and watertight with a sound floor and working locking gear. Used for scrap handling, machinery moves, stone, steel offcuts and site waste in tight spaces.

The shell is fabricated from Corten A weathering steel — a copper, chromium and nickel alloy that forms a tightly adherent oxide layer instead of the flaking scale you get on mild steel. That patina slows further corrosion, which is why a 25-year-old box can still be structurally sound while a painted mild-steel shed of the same age has perforated.
Side and end panels are 14-gauge (2.0mm) corrugated sheet welded to a rigid frame of rolled top and bottom rails with cast steel corner fittings on the ISO 1161 pattern. Roof panels are 2.0mm with an arch profile that shifts standing water toward the eaves. Flooring is 28mm marine-grade plywood over steel cross-members on nominal 300mm centres, rated for a 7 260 kg forklift axle load.
Expect surface oxidation on used grades: it is cosmetic. We reject units with through-plate pitting, cracked welds at the corner posts, or bowed rails, because those defects affect stacking strength and cannot be repaired economically in the field.
