A side opening shipping container, also known as an open side or full side access container, has full-length doors along its longest side in addition to standard end doors. This makes loading, unloading, and accessing goods much easier, especially for bulky or oversized items.
We provide nationwide delivery using crane-equipped hauliers, meaning your container can be offloaded and positioned directly onto your site. Our team can also arrange site surveys, lifting plans, and RAMS to ensure safe, efficient installation.
The price depends on the size, condition, availability and your location. Side opening containers are typically more expensive than standard containers due to their reinforced structure. At S Jones, we offer competitive prices and finance options to make purchasing more accessible.
Side opening containers are highly versatile and commonly converted into battery storage units, switchgear enclosures, plant rooms, workshops, retail showrooms, pop-up cafés, and exhibition stands. Our in-house conversion team can customise your unit with insulation, electrics, lining, and branding.
We supply side opening shipping containers in 20ft, 20ft High Cube and 40ft High Cube sizes. Each option offers reinforced floors and roofs for stability, with High Cube units providing additional internal space for taller items or conversions.
Unfortunately our delivery was delayed by several hours but the driver made up for lost time, he was very polite and proffessional and sited the container inch perfect.
I was treated extremely well they took care of what I needed without any fuss.
I cannot thank the staff at S Jones Containers enough. Everyone I spoke to went over and above to help. The containers were ordered and delivered in a very timely manner. We were kept informed at all times. The containers arrived at the time expected and were very easy to install. Thank you to everyone at S Jones Containers. I would highly recommend this company, it was a pleasure doing business with them.
Shazia was helpful from my first enquiry to the delivery of my container. She sorted any query and enabled me to buy exactly what I was looking for. The driver who delivered container was also a credit to his company. Nothing was too much trouble and everything done with a smile .
