Things To Know About Our Side Opening Containers

Side opening container units are generally available in 20ft, 40ft, or 40ft high cube. The wide access point is on the longer side panel, consisting of full concertina cargo doors. There are also standard cargo doors on one 8ft end of the unit.

Side opening doors are heavier than standard cargo doors so the roof and floor of containers are reinforced to create a robust container. As a result of the reinforced floor and roof, there can be a loss of internal height in the container.

Side Opening Shipping Containers For Conversion

Side Opening Shipping Containers offer many conversion opportunities and the units can be easily customised to suit your needs.

As the container has doors on the longer sides, they are great solutions for those looking for unique exhibition stands, performance venues, ticket kiosks, pop-up bars or retail outlets. The side opening containers can also be divided into multiple sections, so you can have two or more office spaces or retail displays in the same container.
