Side opening shipping containers
Side‑opening shipping containers give you full access down one entire long side, making them a smart choice when end‑door loading just doesn’t cut it.
Whether you're dealing with wide machinery or bulky materials, these containers offer easy access, making them easier to unload, with no crane needed.
Our side‑opening containers are built to international ISO standards, available in 20 foot and 40 foot lengths. Some of the features include:
- Weatherproof: Our containers are both wind and water-tight
- Full‑side bi‑fold doors: Open the container’s entire side for straight-in access
- Heavy-duty build: Steel shell with reinforced roof and floor handles heavy and oversized loads
Each unit retains the traditional end doors and features reinforced walls and roof to compensate for the structural demands of a side opening. The result is a secure container, perfect for demanding environments.
