Side Opening Shipping Containers
Side opening containers are a great investment for businesses requiring access cargo at short notice. They feature double doors on one end, but also doors that open across the entire length of the unit, allowing for easy storage of larger items.
We stock side opening containers for sale and for hire in 20ft and 40ft lengths, each designed to the highest specification. Because of their versatility, open side storage shipping containers are a popular choice to be converted into retail or catering units.

A key feature of an open side shipping container is its ability to be opened across the entire length, to reveal the interior of the unit. Instead of a solid wall at the side, they have two bifold doors that can be opened individually or together so that the entire side of the container is open.
Open side containers still feature the traditional cargo doors at one end as well as offering full side access, creating a unique opportunity to store goods or transport cargo. Unlike with standard shipping containers, there’s no issue with accessing items at the back of the unit, giving businesses more flexibility with their stock.
Our open side containers are manufactured to the highest quality. Available in both standard and high cube specifications, and in 20ft and 40ft lengths, they’re suitable for many different types of cargo. Wind and watertight, they are also designed to protect against the elements.

Open Side Storage Shipping Container Applications
Side access containers have many different uses. Due to their easy forklift access, and the ease with which pallets can be picked up, our side access containers are ideal for businesses who are looking to store their stock. Much like our popular tunnel containers, they are full-access containers. With double doors at one end and full side entry, stock is easy to manage and simple to access even near the back of the container.
Open side shipping containers are also a popular choice for a number of commercial projects, due to their quick set-up time and ease of transportation. This can include pop-up bars and catering, exhibition stands and even ticket sales offices.

All containers are made in line with standard sizes. These sizes are set by the International Organisation for Standardisation, which means side-opening containers are available in different sizes to suit the needs of different businesses.
