— Common use cases

What operators use the 20ʹ HT/OT for.

  • Crane top-loading of machinery or oversized cargo
  • Overheight loads exceeding standard 7ʹ10″ interior height
  • Heavy-equipment transport (engines, transformers)
  • Project freight where lift-in is required
— Important notes

Caveats and details worth knowing.

  • Same external footprint as a 20ʹ GP at the door end. Roof panels are removable for top-loading; tarpaulin variants also exist (this is the hard-top version).
  • When the roof is removed, payload limits and lashing requirements change — confirm with sales for overheight or out-of-gauge moves.
— Grades we carry

Available across our condition grades.

New-build production runs are NEW (one-trip) by definition. Used inventory in the 20ʹ HT/OT format is held in depots at varying grades — exact availability in the live matrix.

  • NEW — one-trip from the factory
  • 3-TRP — three-trip, near-new
  • IICL — survey-grade, pulled from active fleets
  • CW — cargo worthy, CSC-valid for international
  • WWT — wind & watertight, storage-grade
  • AS-IS — sold as-found, no guarantee
