Side Opening Shipping Containers

A side opening shipping container features large doors on the side, providing easy access to the entire length of the container. The double doors open out when used and then return to their closed position for transport and secure storage.

A side open container is one of our most flexible shipping containers available, ideal for industries that require frequent access to stored goods. Side opening containers provide dual access points, with full-length side door and end door access.

Side Opening Containers FAQs


Why should I choose a side opening shipping container?

Side opening containers provide easy access for loading and offloading goods. Loading your items through wide doors on the side of the container is far more practical than having double doors at the end. A shipping container with side doors gives you a much larger access and exit point, giving you adequate room for extra-large items that can’t fit through the container’s regular doors.

Why is a side opening shipping container great for conversions?

Side doors improve the utilisation of the shipping container. A side opening shipping container can be divided into two or more parts to serve as multiple cafes, shops or offices. If you’re converting your side opening shipping container into a workspace, the shipping container side opening will add ventilation that makes your work environment more comfortable on hot summer days.

What are the advantages for warehouse businesses?

Side opening containers are a preferred choice in many sectors. As well as offering ease of access and fast loading times, these containers offer quick and flexible access to stored goods. Store extra-long items like lumber, pipes and palletised materials easily. The full and unobstructed access makes it simpler to load and unload cargo with a forklift. You won’t have to drive inside and risk damaging the container’s floor.

Can I store tall items in an open side container?

Full-length side opening doors make loading and unloading taller items easier. However, our side opening containers are of standard height, so you may need to store taller goods on their side. If you’re looking for extra height, our high cube containers are a great option. Available for sale or hire, new or used, our 20ft and 40ft high cube containers give you an extra foot in height.
