What are open-top containers?
When transporting general cargo, open-top containers are frequently used in addition to standard containers. These are available in various dimensions and usually consist of corrugated steel and a durable wooden floor. Unlike conventional containers, open-top containers—as the name suggests—have an opening at the top. This opening is usually covered with a tarpaulin to protect the contents from environmental influences or theft. Open-top containers are used for all types of general cargo, but they also have a significant disadvantage. They are often not available in the desired quantity, and if they are, then usually only as part of a complete round trip to the port. This poses a real problem for companies that need capacity quickly and rely on flexible, multimodal solutions.
Open-top containers: What alternatives are there?
Since 2000, we have been working for and with clients from a wide variety of industries. What all these companies have in common is the desire for flexibility, economic efficiency, and sustainability. The latter, in particular, is increasingly coming into focus and will play a significant role in every business decision in the future. But how can all these aspects be combined? With our Mobile Transport Carriers (MTTs), we provide an answer to this frequently asked question. MTTs offer considerable advantages over typical standard containers, which can also benefit your company:
- Greater independence: Your company is no longer dependent on open-top containers, which, as already mentioned, are often not available in the required quantities.
- Greater cost efficiency: You save approximately €500 per transport. This amount makes a real difference, especially with high transport volumes.
- Greater time savings: Time is money – this old adage is especially true for logistics. With MTT loading, the container is off the premises within ten minutes, allowing your company to generate significantly more revenue.
- Greater flexibility: MTTs can also be loaded during the night shift or directly from production. They also save a lot of space, as the MTTs can be easily stacked.
- Greater sustainability: Our MTTs can be reused almost indefinitely. This saves valuable resources and protects the environment.
By the way: MTTs are now also being used for transporting heavy and long goods – general cargo that previously couldn’t be loaded into standard box containers.
