The Hardtop Container

Our Multi-Talent
 The Hardtop Container – our Multi-Talent
with Special Features:

Hapag-Lloyd has designed a hardtop container that is more

stable, safer, versatile and convenient to stuff. We are the
only shipping company to offer such multi-talent features for
loading and improved stability with a watertight steel roof
easily removed with either a crane or forklift in a few easy
steps. The upper door header can also be swung out. Bulky
or heavy cargo can be stowed much more conveniently and safely while still
retaining the comprehensive protection of a standard container during transport.
The hardtop container meets the technical requirements of a standard box. Our
multi-talent is available as 20' and 40' (40' also available in high cube).

Hapag-Lloyd offers a container stock

totalling more than a million TEU, including
one of the world’s largest and most ad-
vanced reefer fleets and a wide range of
special equipment for all our customer
requirements. If you have any queries on
the hardtop container or the optimal opti-
on for shipping your cargo, please contact
your Hapag-Lloyd sales representative or
the nearest Hapag-Lloyd office. We are
present in over 130 countries to meet your
needs!

 The eight Advantages of the Hardtop Container:
Easier
1 loading
Hardtop containers can be
loaded more conveniently from
above or through the door, as
the roof can be removed with a
forklift or crane. The upper door
header can be swung open to
the side.
More
2 loading height
For stuffing purposes the roof
can be raised manually with
the locking handles without
a forklift or ladder, providing
an additional 7 cm (2' 3/4'') of
loading height.
4 5
Guaranteed
3 watertight
The hardtop container has a
highly effective labyrinth rubber
seal. This ensures the cargo is
protected just as effectively
against rain, water and other
environmental influences as in
a standard container.
Easier
4 handling
Thanks to the removable roof,
hardtop containers can be
opened and closed again much
faster than a softtop container
(40' hardtop boxes have a
two-part roof).
 More
5 protection
With a closed roof, the hardtop
container offers the same
reliable protection as provided
by a standard container.
More
6 stability
The hardtop container’s floor is
specially designed for the usage
of heavy equipment during
stuffing activities.
6 7
More
7 safety
Hardtop containers have more
lashing points than other
container types. This guaran-
tees reliable and convenient
securing of cargo.
More
8 flexibility
Where required, the hardtop
roof can be stowed upright in
the container during transport,
reducing the inner width of the
box by only 13 cm (5' 1/8''). We
offer a tarpaulin upon request.
