About Us
The argument in favor of using filler text goes something like this: If you use real content in the Consulting Process, anytime you reach a review point you’ll end up reviewing and negotiating the content itself and not the design.

Open Top Containers
Open Top Containers
Ideal for Tall and Top-Loaded Cargo
Open top containers have a removable roof bowing or tarpaulin cover instead of a solid top, allowing cargo that exceeds standard container height to be top-loaded by crane. Open tops are ideal for tall machinery, steel coils, stone slabs, glass panels, and other cargo that cannot enter through standard doors.
Our Open Top Containers Process

We confirm an open-top container and flag the out-of-gauge dimension to the carrier for stowage planning.
