Prototype History: Cargo comes in all shapes and sizes and cannot always be squeezed into a standard container. Hence, many intermodal carriers have fleets of special containers that provide out-of-gauge and projects options for the most unique shipments. Open top containers are ideal for over-height cargo of more than 2.5 meters high and those longer cargoes that cannot be safely loaded into standard containers. Open top containers can be top loaded by cranes and come with a moveable door top rail that swings open to free up the door height limit.
